LIVE: Winter storm brings snow, whiteouts and bitter cold to West Michigan

Описание: Winter is in full force across West Michigan this week.

Several inches of snow have already fallen across the region and more is on the way Monday afternoon through Tuesday morning.

The highest snow totals will be along and west of U.S. 131 where a Winter Storm Warning is in effect through 7 a.m. Tuesday.

Snow totals will lessen further away from Lake Michigan.

This light and powdery snow combined with gusty winds has already led to whiteout conditions.

Whiteouts will remain possible at times throughout our Martin Luther King, Jr. Day.

Temperatures are expected to hover in the lower teens and the single digits through Tuesday morning, which will make clearing roads very difficult.

Salt becomes nearly ineffective when temperatures are below 15 degrees.

The combination of 35-40 mph wind gusts and frigid temperatures will result in windchills or "feels like temperatures" between -5 and -15 degrees through Tuesday morning.
