| Episode narrativeepisode_narrative | The first lake effect snow event of the season brought very localized heavy wet snow to the immediate lake shore communities from Grand Haven and Ferrysburg south into far western Van Buren County. Accumulating snow only extended about 10-12 miles inland across western portions of Ottawa, Allegan, and Van Buren Counties. Most locations from Grand Haven south to South Haven received 2-3 inches of snow, but a nearly stationary snow band which developed over southwest Allegan County resulted in snow accumulations of 8-10 inches in both Glenn and Ganges, along and west of Interstate 196, in Ganges Township. The weight of the heavy, wet snow caused tree limbs to snap, which resulted in downed power lines around 7:00 AM in Ferrysburg and Spring Lake Township. Power loss affected 557 customers of Consumers Energy in that area. Snow reports included 2 inches in Holland and 1.5 inches in South Haven. |
