Wider weather episode

A low pressure system with a plentiful supply of moisture moved from the Central Plains through the Great Lakes on Tuesday, the 11th. This system caused a combination of light snow and freezing rain over the area. Generally light amounts of mixed precipitation fell with best snowfall amounts of 2 to 4 inches over parts of the Tri Cities and Thumb Region. Icing amounts ranged from a trace to two tenths of an inch, leading to numerous accidents across all of Southeast Lower Michigan. Some school districts sent students home early when roads began to deteriorate. A 16 year old boy was killed (indirect) in a car accident as a result of icy roads in Washtenaw County.
