| Episode narrativeepisode_narrative | Lake effect snow developed across southwestern lower Michigan as strong west winds of 20 to 30 miles per hour moved over the relatively warm waters of Lake Michigan. Reports of 1 to 4 inches of snow were common. Due to the strength of the wind, the lake effect snow bands were able to move inland quite a ways. As the wind diminished overnight and became more northwest, the snow ended east of US-131. However, snow continued until the early morning hours from US-131 west to the lakeshore. The following is a list of specific snowfall totals for the 12th through the early morning hours of the 13th:6.2 inches in Allegan (Allegan County); 3.9 inches in Grand Rapids (Kent County); 3.2 inches in Hastings (Barry County); 3 inches in Grandville (Kent County); 3 inches in Sparta (Kent County); 2 inches in Holland (Allegan County); 1 inch in St. John's (Clinton County); 1 inch in Hudsonville (Ottawa County); 1 inch in Muskegon (Muskegon County); 0.4 inches in Lansing (Ingham County). |
