episode_narrativeLow pressure moved east from Minnesota through Upper Michigan during the day on the 29th.At the same time a strong cold frontmoved through the region. Behind the cold front,strong west winds between 25 and 35 mph developed. The result was whiteout conditions due to blowing and drifting snow across the region on the afternoon and evening of the 29th. Peak wind gusts included 51 mph at the Marquette County Airport, and 45 mph at Escanaba and Houghton.After the winds settled during the early morning of the 30th, Arctic air blowing over the relatively warmer waters of Lake Superior brought heavy lake-effect snow to the Keweenaw Peninsula and to Alger and Luce Counties in North Central Upper Michigan. The snow continued through the morning of the 31st. Snow totals included 28 inches at Silver city, 22 inches at Bumbletown (15NE of Houghton), 21 inches at Rockland, 16 inches at Munising, Pelkie and Pine Stump Junction and 14 inches at Ontonagon. The weight of the heavy snow caused a roof collapse to the Houghton County Road Commission garage 2 miles east of Houghton.
