The episode as NWS DTX wrote it up.
Low pressure tracking through northwest Ohio and into the Eastern Great Lakes produced 3 to 6 inches of snow across most of southeast Michigan Wednesday (Feb 12) afternoon through early Thursday (Feb 13) morning. Sleet and freezing drizzle was mixed in, along and south of I-94, which limited snowfall amounts. With northeast winds off Lake Huron, higher snow totals were observed over the eastern Thumb region, with localized amounts of 6-10 inches. Snow developed Wednesday afternoon and tapered off by 3 AM Thursday, thus road crews were able to clear much of the main roads for the Thursday morning commute. The snow also contained less water content than normal, thus was easier to shovel as well. Heaviest snowfall reports: 10.5 inches in Lexington, 10.0 inches in Deckerville, 7.2 inches in Lapeer, and 6.5 inches in Columbus.
