Winter Storm in Alpena, Michigan

Low pressure moved up the Ohio Valley on the evening of the 1st. The associated snowfall reached northern lower Michigan, with generally moderate amounts of 3 to 6 inches. However, as colder air wrapped back into the region that evening, lake enhancement was seen downwind of the Great Lakes. That snowfall was locally heavy, especially in parts of northern lower Michigan. The Alpena area picked up 8 to 11 inches of snow.
