Winter Storm — Emmet, Michigan

2017-03-01 · Emmet, Michigan

Wider weather episode

Low pressure tracked across southern and central lower Michigan early on the first. Precipitation was initially rain, but as the system departed and colder air moved south in its wake, rain turned to snow. Heavy snow fell across parts of northern lower and far southeast upper Michigan, with totals as high as 12 to 18 inches in Tower, Millersburg, Cheboygan, Cedarville, Drummond Island, and Cathro. Gusty northeast to north winds resulted in some blowing and drifting snow.
