Wider weather episode

A low pressure system developed over Colorado and tracked through the Central Plains and eventually over Southeast Lower Michigan. With temperatures in the low 20s, the precipitation on the evening of the 1st began as all snow. Portions of the Tri-Cities and Thumb region received up to 7 inches of snow, with generally only one to three inches elsewhere because of a late evening transition to sleet and freezing rain. Areas near the Michigan/Ohio border, where less precipitation fell, and areas in the Thumb, where more snow fell, only had trace amounts of ice accumulation. Most locations throughout the rest of Southeast Lower Michigan had between one and two tenths of an inch of ice accumulation. Locations around Saginaw had the most ice accumulation, with numerous spotters reporting a quarter inch of ice. Numerous accidents were reported across the area.
