| Episode narrativeepisode_narrative | A low pressure system moved east across Southern Wisconsin and Southern Lower Michigan on the 27th. As the low exited Lower Michigan, a trough developed over Northern Wisconsin turning the winds over Upper Michigan to the north. The snow became heavy during the evening of the 27th and continued until the trough moved south inti Illinois during the evening of the 28th. The heaviest snows were enhanced by cold air blowing over the relatively warmer waters of Lake Superior. The heaviest snow totals were Ironwood, Marquette and Herman with 12 inches, while Houghton, Ontonagon and Lanse received 8 inches.One weather related fatality occurred when a man was struck by a milk truck at 205 pm on Feb 28 on Highway M28, 10 miles east of Harvey in Marquette County. He was standing outside his car which had been in a minor accident 10 minutes earlier. Blowing snow produced whiteout conditions at the scene. |
