As we expected the heaviest snowfall totals have occurred along our lakeshore counties from this big lake effect event. The National Weather Service office in Grand Rapids reported only 1.1" of snow at the Gerald Ford airport, while areas along the lakeshore have seen a whopping 15"-18". The graphic below is as of 10:00 PM Saturday evening from all reports thus far. These are the highest totals I can find in and around the area. In addition to the ones below, Hart in Oceana county and Ludington picked up 10.7" and 10.5" respectively. Our weather pattern will generally remain the same the next several days...no big storms, but no warmups either. Grand Rapids is almost halfway to our season total of 74", and we still have January, February, March, and April!
