A strong low pressure system originating near Texas tracked northeast into the Ohio Valley. This storm induced blizzard, winter storm, and tornado headlines as it tracked through the US. As the low lifted north, a mix of rain, freezing rain, sleet, and snow commenced Tuesday afternoon. A changeover to snow began near 4-7pm for most areas. A general 3-5" swath of snow fell across most of Southeast Michigan. Text and graphic summaries are available below. Snowfall totals through 10 am February 27th, 2013, are available in graphic and text formats.
