A strong low pressure system moved across southern Canada, north of Michigan, on the night of the 4th.  The system brought light snow to the area, with most places picking up 2 inches or less of new snow.  Lapeer, Macomb, and St Clair Counties were the exception, with 2 to 4 inches of snow.  The Thumb area, along with Monroe County, saw enough blowing and drifting snow to cancel schools in many districts on the 5th.  Also on the 5th, the weight of the additional snow (combined with all the snow that fell in December) collapsed an awning-style roof along the edge of a metals warehouse in Brighton.  Three men were buried under the debris.  One suffered a broken leg, another a broken ankle, and the third had relatively minor head injuries.  Later in the day, a man in Waterford died when he fell from his roof while trying to shovel snow.
