Chance for some more lake effect snow Friday evening

A bit of lake effect snow is still lingering around Southeast Michigan. While the snow will move out, the cold remains.

Friday started with a messy morning commute and is ending with a slippery evening drive after winter weather hit the area.

As of 8:30 p.m., police were responding to crashes on I-96, I-275, and the Southfield Freeway.

Lake effect snow fell on and off throughout the day, at times becoming heavy. This snow combined with cold temperatures led to a mess across the state. Though the bulk of the lake effect precipitation is gone, occasional snow showers will continue overnight.

Drivers are urged to slow down and use caution if they must drive Friday into Saturday, especially on overpasses, as even treated overpasses will refreeze quickly in the cold.
