Low pressure tracked north through the western Great Lakes, producing a significant winter storm for much of the region. Lower Michigan received a combination of snow, sleet, and freezing rain. The freezing rain was mainly confined to far southern lower Michigan south of I-94, where up to a quarter inch of ice accumulated. Much of southwest lower Michigan reported 1-4 inches of sleet, while heavier snow fell across northern lower Michigan.  This resulted in hazardous travel conditions due to heavy sleet accumulation on area roads during the late afternoon and evening hours of December 28th.  Wind gusts in the 40 to 60 mph range resulted in a few downed tree limbs and scattered power outages.
