Just about everyone received measurable snow from an Alberta Clipper that moved through the Great Lakes region. This led to some slick roads, especially overnight Monday into Tuesday morning. The graphic below is based on reports received as of 7am Tuesday. It does not capture every local report, and so it may be slightly different than what you received in your area. However, generally most areas received 2"-5" of new snow from this system.

Below are some selected reports we received from the public, media, and trained spotters. Thank you also to those who sent us reports on Facebook and Twitter!
