| Episode narrativeepisode_narrative | A cold air mass covered the Great Lakes, while a trough of low pressure developed over the relatively warm water of Lake Huron. A lake effect snow band formed over central Lake Huron on the 17th, and as the wind shifted to the northeast with the passing trough, the snow band came onshore in the Thumb area. Seven inches of snow fell in Lexington (Sanilac County), while Croswell (Sanilac) received six inches. Six inches of snow also fell in northeast St Clair County, north of Port Huron. A similar lake effect snow band over Saginaw Bay also came onshore, producing six inches of snow in Akron (Tuscola). Snowfall rates with these bands were around an inch an hour. |
