Expect 2-7 Inches of Snow Wednesday in Royal Oak

Snow will start falling in the afternoon and continue into the evening.

Last year's wimpy winter will not be a repeat for Michigan, if this week is any indication.

Following Christmas Eve's traffic-clogging snowfall—which ranged from a dusting to several inches in Metro Detroit—residents of Royal Oak and surrounding areas can expect significant snow on Wednesday.

The National Weather Service has issued a Winter Weather Advisory for the area, and is predicting up to seven inches of snowfall on Wednesday.
