Is Michigan Finally Done With Snow for the Season?

When you live in Michigan, one of the most unpredictable things is the weather. Any Michigander can tell you that it can go from warm and sunny to snowing in just a few hours. In fact, that just happened last week.

With temps hitting in the 70s this weekend, it's got everyone wondering whether or not we'll get slapped with more snow before the season officially comes to an end. After all, we’ve seen it happen before.

Technically, it’s officially spring next Thursday, March 20, but that doesn’t mean much when you live in Michigan. We’ve had snow in April and even May, so it’s not out of the question for winter to show up again, even with warmer temperatures teasing us.

Is Michigan Finally Done With Snow for the Season?

This is a question that we have to turn to the professionals for. According to MLive's Mark Torregrossa, a March or early April snowstorm is not likely to occur in the southern half of Lower Michigan. That doesn't mean we won't still see some snow; it just means it's unlikely that we'll get hit with a snowstorm.

He also said that northern Lower Michigan isn't totally out of the woods yet and could still see snow showers here and there. It's also possible that those snow showers could turn into an inch or two.

Temps will be warmer than normal over the next couple of weeks, so for the most part, Mid-Michigan is sitting pretty as we cruise into spring. Just keep in mind that we live in Michigan, and anything weather-wise is possible at any given moment.

Let's just hope we don't experience what Michigan residents went through in the summer of 1816, when Michigan, along with 18 other states, reported accumulating snowfall during the month of June. That sounds awful.
