Overview

This winter season started off with a bang as a strong winter storm hit across the Plains and Midwest.   Less than two days prior, Southeast Michigan saw temperatures in the 60 degree range before temperatures quickly cooled off back below freezing as the winter storm took hold.  A strong area of low pressure took shape out on the central plains on Friday and strengthened as it moved east over the Mid-Mississippi River Valley.  Snowfall reports of around 12 inches were reported over parts of southern Wisconsin and Northern Illinois.  The system then took aim on Michigan, bringing with it 1"+ hour snowfall rates to portions of Southeast Michigan during the afternoon and early evening hours on Saturday.  Washtenaw, Livingston, Oakland, and Genesee counties were the hardest hit in terms of total snowfall amounts ranging from 10 inches to over 16 inches.  Howell, MI came in with the highest snowfall amount at 16.8!  The NWS Detroit/Pontiac office in White Lake, MI measured 15.5" by the time the storm wrapped up which is the largest snowstorm the office has seen since it was built in 1994.
