Greenhouse growing continues despite harsh winter weather
ZEELAND CHARTER TOWNSHIP, Mich. (WOOD) — With increased demand for fresh vegetables throughout the year, more farmers are turning to greenhouse growing. The Visser family has been farming in Ottawa County for more than 120 years. In 1989, the operation became year-round thanks to their move to greenhouse growing. “It really helped fulfill all the needs we had," said Cindy Visser, who runs the family business with her husband Phil and four of their children. "Many of your local restaurants that you frequent that does farm-to-table, you eat our food.” Solar project in Gratiot County faces uphill battle She said there aren’t many limitations to what they can grow in their greenhouse — it's mostly about effectively prioritizing the available space. It’s a balancing act of scheduling and planting what’s needed at the right time to gain the competitive edge. Visser Farms produce. (Courtesy Cindy Visser) “Having the first tomatoes at the market or the first pickles or cucumbers or beans is always very advantageous," Visser said. "So it gives you kind of a leg up in that you have things sort of available all year round.” The most important part of managing a greenhouse is keeping the heat up so that even when temperatures outside take a dive, the plants can still thrive. In the event the greenhouse loses power, the Vissers have several fail-safes in place with multiple wood and natural gas furnaces to keep running no matter the conditions. Extra grow lights are also used. They offer help given the lack of sunshine during a typical Michigan winter. Conference to cover resilience strategies for farmers Whether the forecast calls for subzero temperatures or scorching sun, you can find the Vissers in their greenhouse or operating their country market in Holland. At the peak of summer, the Vissers employ as many as 60 people to help distribute their produce and flowers at farmers markets across West Michigan.

One homeless woman’s story: A subzero night in a tent
GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. (WOOD) — Down a snow-packed trail on Grand Rapids' West Side, around the corner and up against a fence, there's a small tent. It's covered in snow and not visible from the street. On Thursday night, in temperatures that dipped below zero, a 57-year-old woman slept there. Kiel Hamlet, from the Servants Center's homeless outreach program, spotted the tent — maybe 4 by 6 feet — off Wealthy Street SW on Thursday night. He checked it. It appeared lived in, he said, but nobody was home. The tent. On Friday morning, Target 8 saw a fresh set of small footprints in the snow that led away from the tent headed north toward Wealthy Street. The tent was unoccupied. Arctic air brings subzero wind chills to West Michigan Two hours later, it was still below zero. A new set of footprints was headed toward the tent. "Good morning," I said. "Good morning. Who is it?" a woman's voice responded from behind the zippered door. I identified myself and said, "I'm just checking to make sure you're OK." "I'm OK, hon," she answered. But she was not. Michelle, 57, said she has lived in this tent for two years, surviving off $600 a month in disability benefits — not enough to rent a place. Asked why she's out in the cold, she answered, "I have nowhere else to go." "What about the shelters?" I asked. "They're all filled up right now," she said. She was heating the tent and her feet with flames from Coca-Cola cans filled with rubbing alcohol. You could smell fuel from outside. She also wore three coats. It was enough to get her through the night. Michelle seeks respite from the frigid cold with a small fire in a tent. When told about the extra emergency beds at Mel Trotter Ministries near downtown Grand Rapids, she still refused to go. Mel Trotter has 265 beds for emergency shelter, but added 100 more when it issued a "Code Blue" on Jan. 16 in response to the cold weather and will continue through Jan. 30. On Thursday night, 351 of the beds were filled. There was room for Michelle. "I'm trying to get clean off drugs and I don't want to be around people," she said. "Do you know it's going to be maybe 15 below zero tonight?" I asked. "Are you ready for that?" "Going to call my son," she said. List: Grand Rapids-area warming centers Hamlet, the outreach coordinator at Servants Center, works closely with the homeless, often those with severe mental illness, but he wasn't familiar with Michelle. "It does scare me, especially if somebody's dealing with severe mental illness," he said while standing not far from Michelle's tent. "A lot of times people like to say they're making the decision to stay there, and we know nowadays they're not making that decision. The mental illness is making the decision for them." Mel Trotter Ministry's CEO Chris Palusky said he figures perhaps hundreds of people who are homeless slept out in the cold Thursday night and could again Friday night despite the center's extra emergency beds and despite its own outreach team trying to convince them to come inside. "I would say 75% say, 'No, thank you,'" he said. They offer hats, gloves, hand warmers and other winter gear to those who refuse.

(Jan. 23, 2026) By last count, he said, there were 1,200 homeless people in the Grand Rapids area — and that, he said, is conservative. "It's extremely dangerous," he said of the cold weather, "so our goal is to keep people alive during times like this because people will freeze if they're out exposed to the elements." Kent County has seen ‘massive’ increase in homelessness since pandemic A short time after I arrived at Michelle's tent Friday morning, her nephew showed up. "How you doing, Michelle?" Hamlet of the Servants Center asked her as she walked through the snow from her tent. "Not good," she said. "Have you had any contact with any of the outreach? Mel Trotter, or the HOT team, anything like that?" Hamlet asked. "No," she said. "My son's coming down to get me." She didn't need any help, she said, but wanted us to know that others might. "There's a trail that goes through and there's a bunch of homeless back there. They probably need some help," she said before walking away. Michelle went with family to escape frigid temperatures. Footsteps went for maybe a mile down the trail, through deep snow, but there were no camps to be found.

What weather apps sometimes miss about dangerous winter storm conditions
Smartphone weather apps that summarize their forecasts with eye-popping numbers and bright icons may be handy during mild weather, but meteorologists say it's better to listen to human expertise during multi-faceted, dangerous winter storms like the one blowing through the U.S. The multistate storm's combination of heavy snow, treacherous ice and subzero temperatures shows why it's best to seek out forecasters who can explain its nuances via local TV or radio newscasts, online livestreams or detailed websites, said meteorologists interviewed by The Associated Press. The data is changing rapidly before and during the storm, and the distance of a few miles can mean the difference between snow, sleet or dangerous freezing rain. “Weather apps are really bad at storms that have multiple types of precipitation and it really makes messaging hard,” said University of Georgia meteorology professor Marshall Shepherd, a past president of the American Meteorological Society. “Apps don’t understand the details of why snow, sleet or freezing rain happens.” University of Oklahoma meteorology professor Jason Furtado and other experts said humans are important in these cases, especially those with local expertise. “For extreme weather events, it is especially important to know there are human forecasters interpreting the data and making the best localized forecasts for your area," Furtado said. "Unfortunately, many of the weather forecast apps use AI methods to either make the forecast or ‘interpolate’ from larger grids to your hometown, introducing the potential for significant errors.” But some apps can be useful, especially those that pair National Weather Service data with meteorologists' expertise, forecasters said. And they are definitely getting used right about now. The Weather Channel app, which is seeing booming traffic this week, uses numerous models, data sources, weather observers and staff, said James Belanger, vice president of its parent company, which also owns the Weather Channel and weather.com. That level of proficiency matters, he said. “It’s an all-hands-on-deck kind of approach that we take,” Belanger said, adding that “not all weather apps are created equal.” What apps can and can't do Apps get much of their information from the National Weather Service and some companies augment it with proprietary information and the well-regarded European forecast models. Many offer forecasts by ZIP code or geographic areas far from weather stations by using software that focuses broader regional forecasts to where the phone is located. While there are good apps, especially those displaying National Weather Service warnings and information, many “oversimplify uncertainty and present highly precise-looking numbers that imply more confidence than actually exists,” said Northern Illinois University meteorology professor Victor Gensini. This type of storm is where apps are weakest because they don't get nuances, he said. Weather apps are good for forecasting nice warm summer days, but not days like much of the country is facing now, said Steven DiMartino of NY NJ PA Weather. The paid online subscription service touts its human expertise with the slogan “Meteorology Not Modelology.” “The problem with the weather app is that it just provides data, but not explanation,” DiMartino said. “Anyone can look at data, but you need a meteorologist, you need that human touch to look at it and say, ‘Hmm, that looks like an error; we’re gonna tweak this.’” Seeking quality sources of data Cory Mottice, a National Weather Service meteorologist since 2014, developed the app EverythingWeather, which uses weather service data, as an easy place for the public to find the latest weather forecasts for their area without navigating the agency’s website. He said it’s “just for fun” and not affiliated with the weather service. The strength of his app, he said, is that the information comes from professional meteorologists at the more than 125 weather service offices. Many apps just use raw computer modeling data – which aren’t always reliable in extreme events — with no human oversight, “which can really lead to some very misleading numbers or graphics depending on what you’re at,” he said. With his approach, “you have actual meteorologists that are experts in their field at different places all over the country for that specific area, looking at the data, adjusting it, making the forecast as needed,” Mottice said. Mixing decades of experience, 100 meteorologists and AI The popular Weather Channel app uses information from many sources, including the weather service and more than 100 weather models, including those from the U.S. and Europe and their own distinct model. They augment it with input from over 100,000 citizens to help forecast weather events, said The Weather Company's Belanger. And it's all synthesized by artificial intelligence to come up with a forecast, he said. That’s more accurate than relying on a single model or provider, he said, because AI is able to learn which models are the most accurate in different conditions to help “create that optimal forecast.” Even so, humans, including a team of more than 100 meteorologists, always have the final say about what goes on the app, Belanger said. “One of the things that has been a lesson and a principle that we’ve adopted is that it’s the combination of advancements in technology with the human oversight," that allows the company to provide the best forecasts — especially in situations like the current winter storm, Belanger said. Be careful with social media Forecasters also warn against another quick fix for weather information: social media, where hype, misinformation and short takes can spread quickly. While social media can help amplify official sources like the weather service, "it’s also where misinformation spreads fastest,” Gensini wrote in an email. “Weather is complex, and social media tends to reward confidence and drama, not nuance,” Gensini said. "That mismatch is a real challenge during major events like this.” Kim Klockow McClain, an extreme weather social scientist at the University Corporation for Atmospheric Research, said people are “getting misled by hyped forecasts.” “When people are continually exposed to only worst-case forecasts, research suggests they will lose trust over time,” she said. __ Borenstein reported from Washington, Webber from Fenton, Michigan. ___ The Associated Press’ climate and environmental coverage receives financial support from multiple private foundations.

Why freezing rain has millions at risk of losing power — and heat
ATLANTA (AP) — Every morning this week, Newberry Electric Cooperative CEO Keith Avery walks into his office and turns on The Weather Channel. Then he starts making calls, lining up crews and equipment to respond to outages if a forecasted ice storm cripples power across South Carolina. Avery has dealt with disasters before. Nearly every one of his 14,000 customers lost power when the remnants of Hurricane Helene tore through in 2024. But the approaching ice storm has him even more worried because ice-coated trees and power lines can keep falling long after the storm itself has passed. “I hate ice storms,” Avery said. “They are worse than hurricanes.” Officials across the eastern two-thirds of the U.S. have been sounding the alarm about the potential for freezing rain to wreak havoc on power systems. In the South, especially, losing electricity doesn’t just mean the lights going out. It means losing heat. That's because a majority of homes are heated by electricity in Alabama, Arkansas, Georgia, Kentucky, Louisiana, Mississippi, North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas and Virginia, according to the U.S. Census Bureau. Ice storms, Avery said, are especially punishing because of what happens after they move out: Crews struggle to reach damaged lines on ice-covered roads; cold, wet weather takes a toll on workers; and problems can linger for days as ice-laden branches continue to snap. “You get a power line back up and energized, and just as you leave, you hear a loud crack and boom, there’s a tree limb crashing through what you just repaired,” Avery said. Lessons from Winter Storm Uri Texas experienced the worst-case scenario in 2021, when Winter Storm Uri's freezing temperatures crippled the state's power grid for five days and led to 246 storm-related deaths, according to the Texas Department of Health Services. But experts say Uri’s damage stemmed largely from poorly weatherized power plants and natural gas systems, not downed power lines. “The main lesson was to enforce requirements for utilities to be ready for cold weather,” said Georg Rute, CEO of Gridraven, a Texas-based firm that analyzes power system risks for grid operators. Rute said utilities have applied lessons from Uri, and while he does not expect a repeat of that kind of grid collapse, he warned that other vulnerabilities remain, including transmission lines tripping during extreme cold. Gov. Greg Abbott on Thursday gave assurances to Texans about the state’s power grid. The Electric Reliability Council of Texas has said grid conditions are expected to be normal during this weekend’s storm. “The ERCOT grid has never been stronger, never been more prepared, and is fully capable of handling this winter storm,” Abbott said. The governor added, though, that residents could lose power as ice weighs down power lines and trees fall onto them. But, he said, energy providers are prepositioned to fix any outages, and there’s been an effort to clear trees and branches near power lines in recent years. Outages hit hardest in vulnerable communities Winter Storm Uri also exposed disparities in how outages affected communities, said Jennifer Laird, a sociology professor at the City University of New York’s Lehman College who studies energy insecurity. Researchers have found that residents in predominantly Hispanic areas experienced more outages, while Black residents were more likely to face outages lasting a day or more. Laird said outages expose vulnerabilities people don’t anticipate, from medical equipment that requires electricity to families with infants who rely on refrigeration for breast milk. Younger households and those with lower levels of education, in particular, are less likely to have contingency plans in place, she said. "There are lots of ways that we’re dependent on energy that we don’t realize until a crisis hits — and then it really exposes those vulnerabilities,” Laird said. Even if this weekend’s storm does not produce significant outages, the financial burden on families could linger for months. About 1 in 6 U.S. households are already behind on their energy bills, and with millions expected to turn up their heaters during the cold snap, that number could rise, Laird said. “A month or two after the storm hits, suddenly the bill hits,” she said. “We could see a rise in disconnection notices and disconnections.” Utilities prepare for the worst Utilities in the Southeast have also warned customers to prepare for possible outages. Duke Energy, which serves more than 4.6 million customers in North and South Carolina, urged residents to be ready for multiple days without power. The utility said more than 18,000 workers would be ready to respond once conditions are safe. The Tennessee Valley Authority, which serves more than 10 million people across seven states, said it has invested hundreds of millions of dollars in weatherization since a 2022 winter storm and has built-in redundancies to reroute power if a line goes down. “It takes a lot of snow and ice to down one of those big lines,” TVA spokesperson Scott Brooks said.

How does this Arctic blast compare to the 2019 polar vortex?
GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. (WOOD) — The incoming Arctic blast will bring very cold temperatures to West Michigan, but it still falls short of the historic, extreme cold experienced during the 2019 polar vortex. POLAR VORTEX IMPACT OF 2019 The polar vortex visit of 2019 brought dangerously cold conditions to West Michigan, cancelling school and shutting down businesses for almost a week. Grand Rapids Public Schools experienced an unprecedented, full weeklong closure due to the snow and cold. Gov. Gretchen Whitmer declared a state of emergency for Michigan, as wind chills ranged from -20 to -40 for extended periods, and snow and blowing snow made travel extremely difficult. COLDEST WIND CHILLS BY COUNTY BETWEEN JAN 29- 31 Calhoun: -42 Kalamazoo: -40 Ionia: -34 Allegan: -33 Oceana: -32 Kent: -31 Barry: -30 Muskegon: -30 Mecosta: -29 Newaygo: -28 Ottawa: -26 Mason: -26 Lake: -21 A snowstorm on Jan. 28 dropped 6 to 11 inches of snow and ushered in the extreme cold. From there, an additional 6 to 12 inches of snow fell across West Michigan from Jan. 29 through the Jan. 31. Visibility was at or below three miles for three days in a row, with many locations frequently staying below three-fourths of a mile for hours at a time. ARCTIC OUTBREAK JAN 22-25 2026 Very cold air will spill into the Midwest this weekend, with wind chills of -20 to -30 expected across Michigan. Wisconsin will likely experience chills as cold as -40 from Thursday night through Saturday morning. While not a true polar vortex visit, this Arctic intrusion will still bring rare air over West Michigan. Lows Saturday morning could be the coldest seen since 2019. Snow will be less of a threat, but cold conditions will make roads icy and slick. Two factors helping keep the cold in check with this round in West Michigan will be Lake Michigan's warming influence and the resulting cloud cover. Even still, some spots could hit record cold this weekend before temperatures moderate slightly into next week.

Animal shelter: Keep pets indoors as temperatures drop
GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. (WOOD) — The cold weather has West Michigan animal shelters reminding people not to forget about their pets. Kent County Animal Shelter leaders say extreme cold temperatures can be especially dangerous, so you should keep your pets inside. “Dogs can get frostbite on their paws. They can get frostbite on their ears. They can get hypothermic,” Angela Hollinshead, the director of the Kent County Animal Shelter, said. Arctic air to bring subzero wind chills to West Michigan The amount of time a dog can reasonably spend outdoors in the frigid temperatures West Michigan is bracing for depends on the breed and their coat. “Some of the short-haired dogs tend to get colder much quicker than the dogs that have maybe a thick undercoat. So really think appropriately for the breed that you have … and do a little bit of research if you need to,” Hollinshead said. When they do have to go outdoors for a bathroom break, keep it short if necessary and consider using a dog coat. “Even with some protective gear on your pets, it's still very, very cold,” Hollinshead said. The shelter itself makes changes when temperatures plummet. “We do have some coats and things that we put on them, but we do limit their time outside as well. We do have a nice training room and a couple of different indoor spaces that we can use for enrichment,” Hollinshead said. As dangerous cold looms, here’s how to protect yourself and your home If you have livestock that can’t be brought inside, make sure they have adequate shelter. “We encourage people to use materials such as straw. It doesn't hold moisture and it retains heat really well. Whatever you do, don't use bedding or blankets. Those tend to retain moisture and then they freeze and it actually makes the situation worse,” Hollinshead said. Also, make sure animals have water that is not frozen.

So cold that trees will explode? Not exactly, expert explains
(WFRV) – It's about to be very cold in parts of the U.S., including in West Michigan. Cold weather advisory issued for subzero wind chills in West Michigan These forecasts have prompted warnings about protecting your water pipes, dressing for the weather, and, for some reason, the possibility of "exploding" trees. Earlier this week, posts shared to social media began spreading news of the alleged phenomenon, and warning of impending doom to backyard birches, forests of firs, and every tree between. While you likely won't witness a tree erupting at its trunk, hurling splinters and branches every which way, you may hear your trees responding to the frigid temperatures. As anyone familiar with tapping trees for syrup can attest, sap within a tree can become quite solid during the winter, but it may not freeze. (Sap freezes at temperatures colder than water.) So when it does get cold enough for the sap to freeze, there can be a very sudden physical expansion which can sometimes lead to a crack or branches splitting, a forest health specialist with the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources told Nexstar's WFRV. The specialist, though, said he has never seen a tree "explode" due to cold temperatures, as it is extremely rare. Nonetheless, you may hear a loud sound coming from a tree during frigid days. If you notice that a tree in your yard has cracked or a branch has split off, the DNR recommends consulting an expert to ensure the safety of your property or the tree. The specialist noted that some trees may be more prone to impacts of cold weather based on rainfall, or lack thereof. For example, parts of southern Wisconsin had record rainfall last year, which could cause trees to hold more water, and potentially fall victim to the sub-freezing temperatures. Trees in the northern part of the state experienced less rainfall in 2025, which could make them less likely to crack.

Snow Sport Report: Jan. 22, 2026
GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. (WOOD) — Lack of snow will not be the issue this weekend, but the magnitude of the cold could be as some of the coldest temperatures in years arrive. Cold weather advisory issued for subzero wind chills in West Michigan Let's begin with snow, which has been plentiful as of late and most of this season. Wednesday brought a record amount of snow to the Muskegon area of 8.8 inches, and that added to the impressive season tally of nearly 78 inches, which is nearly 30 inches above average. Many locations are at their pinnacle for season snow depth, and with the Arctic sticking around, so too will the snow. Typically, Arctic air is very dry, so that will keep lake-effect snow showers on the tame side. Many inland locations Saturday will see a little sunshine. That means additional snowfall this weekend will be minimal. Besides lake-effect, the southern part of the state could get sideswiped by a massive storm Sunday that will impact states to the south of Michigan. At this point, it appears accumulation will be minimal. Download the free Storm Team 8 weather app SKIERS The resorts are ready to rock and it won't be as busy on the slopes as MLK weekend was. There's another reason why they may not be so busy: the bitter cold. Wind chills for much of Friday and Saturday will range from -10 to -25 degrees. It's not often you have frigid enough air to prompt a cold weather advisory, but that's what we have through the state Friday and Saturday. Just a reminder: It doesn't take long in temperatures this cold for frostbite to occur. Subtract the wind chills, and actual temperatures will likely not get out of the single digits for the vast majority of the weekend. You'll just want to make more breaks to warm up. All the resorts are in peak form (pun intended). Many resorts have already broken the century mark for season snowfall.

It was busy, but the groomers held their own as the trails remained in very good condition. We also rode Trail 19 from Bridgeton to Whitehall and those trails were very good. Thanks to Fox Powersports Nelson's Speed Shop for hooking me up with an amazing Polaris Switchback Assault Boost. It's the first time I've ever ridden a Polaris for an extended amount of time. I had a permanent grin plastered on my face with that turbo power. This is one of those rare weekends when you can snowmobile essentially where your heart desires. Just dress warm as the temperatures will be exceptionally cold. The cold is going to be relentless. If we are lucky, we may hit 20 degrees by the end of the week. Colder than average temperatures will remain across the Great Lakes more often than not into the first week of February, so the current snowpack will stick around. The pattern appears dry so additional snowfall will be limited. Sign up for the Storm Team 8 daily forecast newsletter The Snow Sport Report is sponsored by Schuss Mountain at Shanty Creek Resort.
