Heavy snow developed during the night of the 1st, out ahead of a strong low pressure system, as southerly winds brought large amounts of moisture northward.  The snow was accompanied by thunder and lightning in spots.  Most of Northern Michigan picked up four to ten inches of snow during the night, with Central Lake seeing the most with a foot.  Parts of the Traverse City and Gaylord areas saw eleven inches.  The snow turned to drizzle and freezing drizzle during the day on the 2nd, before much colder air brought lake effect snow and blustery winds that night and into the 3rd.  This lake effect snow was also locally heavy, with six to seven inches of snowfall near Elmira, Alba, Gaylord, and Lake Ann, and with nearly ten inches in Bear Lake (Kalkaska County).  A number of schools were cancelled on the 3rd (a Monday), due to falling, blowing, and drifting snow.
