...Lake Effect Snow Showers to Affect the Morning Commute...

Commutes this morning will be impacted by lake effect snow showers
across much of northern lower and eastern upper Michigan. Reduced
visibility (at times below one mile) from falling and blowing
snow is likely along with snow-covered roads... both from snow
yesterday evening and snow actively falling. Be sure to give
yourself some extra time for the morning commute, and increase
your following distance between yourself and the vehicle in front
of you. When encountering reduced visibility, be sure to utilize
low-beam headlights in order to make yourself more visible to
other motorists.
