Olivia Pageau holiday gifts

(WSYM) - Good snowy morning, Mid-Michigan! It’s your Neighborhood Reporter, Olivia Pageau, and, if you’re like me, you’ve already started your holiday shopping. This season, at ART 634, they are hosting a unique art show, specifically geared towards holiday gifts. The gallery features pieces, from woodwork to clothing. Each piece is handcrafted by local artists, and the artists receive 100% of the sales made on their pieces. I spoke with one of the artists featured in the show, Annie Wade, about what it means to, not only shop locally but to support local artists during the holidays.

Today's Weather Forecast

We are still tracking snow this morning as our winds are looking to shift from the north. As we head into the latter hours of the day, this northerly flow will allow lake effect snow showers to maintain west of our neighborhoods. Morning commute this morning could be hazardous as we are still watching breezy conditions exceeding 30 mph and possibly reaching 40 mph for gusts. These gusts could blow snow around and impact visibility for the morning commute along with any leftover accumulations and slick spots. Wind chill will remain in the mid teens today so make sure to bundle up. We will start to dry as we head into the weekend with a warmup expected as we head into next week.
