Winter storm expected to hit East Lansing
East Lansing will be under a winter weather advisory from 1 p.m. today to 6 a.m. tomorrow with an estimated amount of 4-5 inches for East Lansing, said National Weather Service in Grand Rapids Meteorologist Brandon Hoving. The winter storm is slated to hit East Lansing during the afternoon today and could affect the rush hour traffic, Hoving said. Hoving added the snow will be more of a wet snow and there could be wind gusts of up to 25 mph. Even though there have been multiple snow storms hitting East Lansing this year, Hoving wouldn’t consider this winter out of the norm, he said. “I can’t say that this year has been an unusual year one way or the other,” Hoving said. Director of Public Works Todd Sneathen said there will be no efforts tonight toward plowing or salting East Lansing roads, and the city will wait until tomorrow to act. “It’s during the work day, so there’s no reason to do anything tonight,” Sneathen said.
