The wider storm

A deep occluded low approaching the UP from the west on the 18th brought a warm front just south of the UP and eventually the occluded front moved over the UP as the low weakened by the 19th. This brought a mess of heavy wet snow and freezing rain as well as high winds. Impacts included a majority of school districts closed, municipal facilities closed, power outages, and near-impassible roads.
