Snow rolls into Detroit Wednesday afternoon downtown.

Remember to drive with headlights on if your vehicle doesn't already have running lights, conditions on the road are making visibility limited.

Salt and plow trucks are making their way around SE Michigan. Michigan State Police reminds drivers the law requires you to stay at least 200 feet behind snow plows.

Drivers must also stay 20 feet behind when stopped at an intersection.

Reduction to visibility is expected to be reduced to under a mile in heavier snow squalls, according to the National Weather Service.

The expectation is that most areas will receive a half-inch to one inch of snow. It is expected to be the first of several systems that move through over the next several days bringing the same amount.

Thursday remains dry, but Friday brings another round of light snow.
