LANSING, MICH. With the continuation of the historic emergency weather conditions impacting the state of Michigan, all state government offices will remain closed through Thursday, Jan. 31, 2019, until 10 p.m. Specified essential services will remain operational during the emergency.

“The National Weather Service continues to predict dangerously cold sub-zero temperatures and the priority must continue to be on keeping people safe,” said Gov.
