A strong low pressure system lifted northeast from Oklahoma across Southeast Lower Michigan.  Heavy snow occurred to the left of the track of the low.  Northerly winds allowed Lake Michigan to enhance the snowfall somewhat, with the heaviest snow near the coastline.  Manistee picked up almost 17 inches of snow.  Away from the lakeshore, most of Northern Lower Michigan received 5 to 10 inches of snow.  Some blowing and drifting snow developed late on the 1st, as winds kicked up when the system departed.  The intense snowfall contributed to a number of accidents on area roads.  Many schools in the region let out early to try to beat the worst of the conditions.
