Winter storm warnings have been issued for nearly half of Michigan as arctic air pushes its way across the state. Here’s what to know about the snow totals and snow squalls expected across the state.

Arctic air, strong winds and snow squalls are on tap for Wednesday into Thursday. Then we'll get more lake-effect snow.

Winter storm watches continue for parts of New York, Michigan, Pennsylvania and Ohio on Wednesday, where lake-effect snow is expected to wallop parts of the Great Lakes region, while a good portion of the continental United States is experiencing bitter-cold temperatures.
