DETROIT (WWJ) -- A winter storm that moved into Metro Detroit Thursday evening brought a coating of snow, some slippery roads, but not quite the accumulation that forecasters predicted.
According to a preliminary storm report by the National Weather Service, updated snowfall totals ranged from 1 to close to 4 inches in the Southeast Michigan area.
The most snow is on the ground in Ortonville, in Northern Oakland County and in Port Austin in the Thumb region, which both got 4 inches.
Around 3 inches of accumulation was reported in Lapeer and Howell, and just under 3 inches in Brighton and Flint.
Goodrich in Genesee County, trained spotters recorded just over 2 inches of accumulation, while other parts of Genesee County got 2.5 inches.
Other parts of Oakland County, including Farmington and Beverly Hills, got just an inch to an inch and-a-half.
The Grosse Pointes also got about an inch.
In Roseville and Romulus, 1.4 inches of snow was recorded, while Ann Arbor got just over 1 inch.
AccuWeather forecasters had called for 3 to 6 inches with this storm system.
While there wasn't a whole lot of snow, Michigan State Police said they were responding to plenty of one-vehicle spinout crashes. As always, police remind drivers to slow their speeds and increase distance between their car and others when it's snowing.
