Before we get to January, there's a system that has been slowly getting a more snowy look beginning on the 30th. @hawkstwelve it would seem you may get a couple inches of snow from this one.
Some December 26 weather history in southern Lower Michigan.

Wow, I've been hearing the winds hit the house. We are close to the bent back inclusion where the winds are pretty strong.
I'm thinking that thin line was were the strongest winds are that hit the house.

With just a trace of snow on the ground on Christmas morning it was not officially a white Christmas here in Grand Rapids. It was the 2nd Christmas in a row that did not have at least 1” of snow on the ground. And it was the 5th in the last 7 years and the 6th in the last 10 years. The overnight low here in MBY was 35 there are still snow patches here but they too will soon be gone.
