NOAA impact severity index is minor for most of the area. But locations south/west of Grand Rapids where locally 10" to 12" may fall has a moderate severity index due to heavier snow and gusty winds that will create white-out conditions longer in these areas. Our sliver of our northern counties are also under a moderate severity index. See image below.
