Hazardous Travel

The combination of falling snow, gusty winds, and light snow led to considerable blowing snow restricting visibilities across Low Michigan for a prolonged period of time.  In many areas, visibility was at or below 3 miles for days in a row, with periods of at or below 1/4 of a mile.  Check out the webcams showing the low visibilities below:
