Sections of western Michigan’s snowbelt hit by a foot or more lake effect snow

|

This scene, captured on his car phone by our friend and Holland, Michigan observer John Gehr, has been repeated time and time again Tuesday across much of western Michigan’s lake snowbelt. Since Monday, John reports 6-7” has fallen at Holland (through the issuance of this update mid-afternoon Tuesday) while National Weather Service observers indicate 10” or greater accumulations had fallen in western Michigan 11 miles west of Baldwin, at Ludington (12”), Cloverville (10.4”), 1 mile north of Muskegon (10.5”), just west/southwest of Hart (15.0”) and at Zeeland (13.0”) through 11:42 pm Tuesday. Many thanks to John Gehr for the photo and update on weather conditions in western Lower Michigan.
