The wider storm

Deep low pressure lifted across the upper Mississippi Valley late on the 23rd, pushing a cold front into northern Michigan toward or just after midnight. High winds occurred in some areas just behind the cold front, resulting in scattered tree damage and power outages. Gusts in excess of 60 mph were measured in some locations, including the Alpena, Mackinaw City, and Sault Ste Marie areas. In a few spots, the power remained out into Christmas Day.
