| Event narrativeevent_narrative | Lake effect snow showers moved inland across Ottawa County during the afternoon and early evening hours of Sunday, January 26th. Although only around one inch of snow accumulated from the event, road conditions became icy and hazardous after sunset. Temperatures were slightly below freezing during the afternoon, but solar energy melted the snow on most roads. After sunset, temperatures fell several more degrees, quickly turning the standing water into ice on many roads across the area. Several traffic accidents were reported in Spring Lake and Grand Haven and were attributed to icy roads. Four people received minor injuries in weather-related accidents between 5:00 and 6:00 PM EST in the Tri-Cities area (Grand Haven, Spring Lake, and Ferrysburg). |
