WINTER STORM WARNING issued for Thumb Area

The Old Man seems to have a bone to pick with me this year. NWS Detroit has just pulled the trigger on a Winter Storm Warning for Huron, Tuscola and Sanilac Counties. Everyone else has either been downgraded to an advisory or had all headlines cancelled outright.

This is the fifth Winter Storm Warning issued for the Thumb Area this year. By contrast, Huron County had no warnings affect it at all last year. I wish I could say for sure that this was likely to be the last one issued, but with Wednesday looming and the way this year has gone, I can't be certain of anything.
