DETROIT (FOX 2):Officially, the winter solstice is just two days away, and Christmas and Hanukkah are less than a week away. In other words, winter has arrived and is not coming again.

Almost everyone in Michigan will get some snowfall as another Canadian clipper moves into the state and the Detroit region.

When will snow start in Detroit?

It won’t begin to snow in Metro Detroit until Friday morning, but it will arrive in northern Michigan on Thursday.

REMAIN UPDATED:

Nearly everyone in Metro Detroit will be able to see snow falling starting at around two in the morning. That will continue till eight or nine in the morning.

How much snow will we get?

A snowblower won’t be necessary. This will be an inch or two, at least for the majority of us in southeast Michigan and Metro Detroit. You’ll see more snow the further north you go.

We’ll see the following amount of snow:

• 
  Port Huron 3.0 in.
  
• 
  Mount Clemens 2.8″
  
• 
  Lapeer: 2.8 in.
  
• 
  Ionia 2.5 in.
  
• 
  Flint: 2.3 in.
  
• 
  Pontiac 2.4 in.
  
• 
  Lansing 1.9 in.
  
• 
  Detroit: 1.8 in.
  
• 
  Ann Arbor: 1.8 in.
  
• 
  Jackson: 1.1 in.
  
• 
  Albion 1.0 in.
  
• 
  Adrian .4 in.
  
• 
  Monroe .4 in.
  

Keep the snowblower in the garage unless you live further north. It should be simple to clear this one.

When will the snow stop?

Around 8 or 9 a.m., the snow will start to slack off, but it will continue to fall intermittently throughout the day until it stops before Friday’s travel home.

How long will the snow stay?

The next few days will see temperatures below freezing when the snow has stopped falling.

Over the weekend, we anticipate temperatures in the 20s, and early next week, further snow is predicted.

However, the temperature will start to rise above freezing by Christmas. It might not be a snowy Christmas this year, but that doesn’t mean everything will go.
