With a total of three to four inches of snow coming on Monday, drivers could have some seriously treacherous driving conditions especially as we get closer to rush hour.

The National Weather Service said that drivers should expect roads to be slick, especially during the evening commute.

Michigan State Police said around noon that it has received several calls already due to slippery roads with most of the calls for service due to spin outs.
