LANSING - More than 10 inches of snow is expected to hit the Lansing area Tuesday night through Wednesday in the largest snow storm so far this season.

National Weather Service Meteorologist Brandon Hoving said today that winds of 20 mph to 30 mph will accompany the snow, making drifts and blowing snow challenging for drivers.
"The snow will be blowing around quite a bit," Hoving said.
The storm system is large, spanning from Michigan south to Oklahoma, where ice will be more of a problem, Hoving said.
Snowfall will begin between 10 p.m. and midnight Tuesday and become heaviest at about 8 a.m. to 9 a.m. Wednesday, Hoving said. Snow will continue throughout Wednesday, with a total of 10 inches or more expected.
"This is quick-hitting, heavy snow," Hoving said.
