Michigan vs. Ohio State football weather: Snow timing, temperatures, how much snow to expect

ANN ARBOR, Mich. – How will snow, wind, and temperatures affect the Michigan football game vs. Ohio State in Ann Arbor on Saturday?

Quick summary:

Pregame tailgating: Freezing cold, but dry.
During the game: Winds pick up, wind chill temperatures in the teens and low 20s.
Snowfall: Snow is likely to begin around 3 p.m., so it will only affect the end of the game, if at all.
Drive home: Driving conditions are expected to deteriorate quickly once the snow starts.

Local 4 has issued a 4Warn Weather Alert for all of Southeast Michigan on Saturday and into early Sunday morning, because we’re expecting some areas to get 4-6 inches of snowfall.

But most of that snow will fall after the Michigan vs. Ohio State game has concluded. The game is scheduled to kick off at noon Saturday at Michigan Stadium, and it should be done by 3:30 or 4 p.m. at the latest.

The main window for heavy snowfall this weekend is from 6 p.m. Saturday to 2 a.m. Sunday.

If you’re headed to the Big House this weekend, you’ll make it through tailgating just fine, though temperatures will be below freezing.

Winds will start to pick up in the afternoon, and that will drop wind chills to the teens and low 20s, even though the official temperature might be around freezing.

After about 3 p.m. is when snow is expected to start moving in. So it’s likely only going to be a factor for the very end of the game, if at all.

Travel home after the game could get tricky, depending when you leave. We’re expecting driving conditions to deteriorate quickly once the snow begins.
