Heavy Snow in Crawford, Michigan

Low pressure developed in the central high plains, and crossed the southern Great Lakes on the 24th. This system brought a range of wintry precipitation types to northern Michigan. An initial wave of snow advanced south to north into the region on the 23rd. Heavier snow would move in that night and into the 24th, though sleet and freezing rain would mix during this period as far north as M-72. Total snowfall amounts ranged from 8 to 17 inches across most of northern Michigan. The highest snowfall amounts, in excess of a foot, fell in Emmet, Cheboygan, and Presque Isle Counties. Smaller snowfall totals were seen southeast of a line from Houghton Lake to Harrisville, those these areas saw more substantial ice accumulations.
