With subzero temps and additional snowfall expected, many districts in West Michigan are closed Monday.
MICHIGAN, USA — Many schools in West Michigan have canceled classes for Monday due to subzero temperatures and snow.
Lake-effect snow began at the lakeshore on Sunday. Additional lake-effect snow is expected to push further inland on Monday as westerly winds strengthen. This could bring up to a foot of snow to some localized areas.
Temperatures will struggle to rise above the single digits. With wind gusts expected to reach up to 30 mph, it will feel below zero throughout the day. These temperatures can quickly become dangerous.
Drivers should expect slick roads and reduced visibility. Salt doesn’t treat roads as effectively once the temperature drops below about 15 degrees.
As of early Monday morning, many school districts in West Michigan canceled classes, including the following:
- Grand Haven Area Public Schools
- Allendale Public Schools
- Coopersville Public School
- Grandville Public Schools
- Kalamazoo Public Schools
- Spring Lake Public Schools
- Hastings Area Schools
- Fennville Public Schoolsx
Many districts also did not have classes scheduled for Monday to recognize Martin Luther King Jr. Day.
Martin Luther King Jr. Day is a federal holiday. Banks, post offices and some shipping services will pause operations for the day.
