Snow began to overspread Lower Michigan late Sunday morning and early Sunday afternoon of December 4th. Temperatures hovered in the low to mid-30s, causing most of the onset of snowfall to melt upon contact. However, snow quickly became moderate to heavy through the evening hours over Grand Rapids, which resulted in slushy roadways. Several areas became slick through late evening, when temperatures dropped near and below freezing. The heavy, wet nature of the snow also led to power outages for some residents, but was quickly restored for most locations by early Monday morning.
The greatest snowfall totals were found in Barry and Kent Counties, where amounts of 5-6 inches were reported. A band of 3-4 inch snowfall totals stretched from Muskegon, northeast through the Harrison area. Amounts tapered off to the south and east with less than 1 inch near Detroit.
