A strong low pressure system approached the region from the southwest.  Associated precipitation spread northward into the region on the 1st.  Eastern Upper Michigan stayed all snow, mixed with sleet and freezing rain at times in far Northern Lower Michigan, and turned over to all freezing rain further south.  Precipitation was turning showery during this transition time, so significant accumulations of ice were localized.  Still, Cadillac picked up around a quarter-inch of ice accumulation, and East Tawas and Oscoda had almost an inch of glaze - on top of a few inches of snow.  Some power lines were downed near both Cadillac and Tawas.  A number of large tree limbs were downed in Iosco County, one of which destroyed a shed.  To the north, the snowfall was heavy, with 16 inches in Rogers City, 14 inches in Paradise, and 11 inches in Comins.  Strong easterly winds were enhanced by showery precipitation, with some gusts in excess of 50 mph.  Trees were downed in the Gaylord area, damaging a home.  Downed power lines were also common, thanks to the winds and the heavy, wet snow which clung to lines.  Substantial blowing and drifting snow occurred where precipitation stayed all snow.  A number of school districts closed early on the 1st, and stayed closed through the 2nd.
