| Episode narrativeepisode_narrative | An upper level disturbance and associated surface trough of low pressure, which moved east across Michigan's Lower Peninsula the evening of Wednesday, January 14th, produced a brief period of heavy snow in a narrow swath across west central and central lower Michigan. Snowfall accumulations of 3 to 5.5 inches were reported in a 4 to 6 hour period in the mentioned counties. Roads quickly became snow-covered and hazardous as snow fell at the rate of 1 to 2 inches per hour. No serious accidents were reported, however. Snowfall totals from this brief, heavy snow event included 5.4 inches in Grand Haven, 4.7 inches in Muskegon, 4.2 inches in Grandville, 4.0 inches in Holland and Clare, 3.7 inches at the National Weather Service Office in Grand Rapids, and 3.5 inches in Sparta. |
