A winter storm watch has prompted local municipalities to declare snow emergencies.


The following have issued snow emergencies:

City of Howell – Noon Friday through 5pm Saturday
Village of Fowlerville - 10am Friday through noon Saturday
Village of Pinckney – 10am Friday through 5pm Saturday
City of Brighton - noon Friday through noon Saturday
City of South Lyon - 5pm Friday through 11am Saturday


When a snow emergency is in effect, there is no on‐street parking permitted to allow the safe removal of snow, ice, and debris. Vehicles parked on City or Village streets faced being towed at the owner’s expense.

The winter storm watch is in effect for the local listening area and the region from Friday night through Saturday afternoon.

The National Weather Service says heavy snow is expected with total accumulations of 4 to 7 inches possible, in addition to winds gusting in excess of 50mph.
