| Episode narrativeepisode_narrative | The combination of a surface trough across Upper Michigan, an upper low over Wisconsin and cold northerly winds blowing over the relatively warmer waters of Lake Superior combined to produce heavy lake effect snows over the Lake Superior shoreline counites of west and central Upper Michigan. Heavy snow began across Gogebic and Ontonagon counties around 800 am EST on the 4th. The heavy snow spread east to include parts of Keweenaw, Houghton, Baraga, and Marquette counties by the afternoon of the 4th. The snow was concentrated in lake effect snow bands producing widely varying accumulations across the region. The heavy snow diminished to light snow around noon on the 5th.
