As a ex Michigander I do not find this unusual
Quote: | An unusually late snow storm invaded Michigan on Saturday, with eight to 12 inches expected in the Thumb region by the end of the weekend.
The National Weather Service issued a blizzard warning for Huron County and a winter storm warning for all of southeastern Michigan. The warnings will stay in effect through Sunday, said meteorologist Greg Smith.
As of late Saturday morning, Huron and Saginaw counties had seen from half an inch to an inch of accumulation on grassy surfaces, Smith said.
A storm warning also was issued for northern lower Michigan.
In Detroit, snow was mixed with rain for much of the morning, but Smith said it had changed over to all snow before noon.
The city and surrounding communities were expected to get five to eight inches of snow through Sunday evening. Smith said accumulation would be confined mostly to grassy surfaces until the evening, when there could be snow on the roads as well. Overnight temperatures in Detroit were expected to drop to around 30 degrees.
It was unclear how far west the storm would travel. A winter storm watch was issued for Lansing and Grand Rapids. |
