A snowstorm pushing its way east dumped several inches of fresh snow throughout southeast Michigan Friday, forcing hundreds of schools to close and leaving motorists with a slow morning commute.

Over 650 schools closed Friday because of the storm. School closings were also reported in counties including Bay, Midland, Genesee, Lapeer and Shiawassee. The University of Michigan-Flint announced that it would be closed due to the storm. It canceled classes and most events.
