What happened

The episode as NWS APX wrote it up.

A deepening surface low pressure system moved into the Upper Great Lakes late in the day on November 25, 2024, bringing accumulating wet snow to the eastern U.P. of Michigan. Accumulations were minimized south of the Mackinac Bridge due to warmer temperatures and precipitation falling as rain or a mix at times.
