The snow that fell across West Michigan on Tuesday into early Wednesday morning, February 9-10 was the first significant synoptic snow event, other than lake-effect snow, to impact the region since December 10, 2009. The heaviest snow fell from Holland, Grand Rapids and Lansing south through Paw Paw, Kalamazoo, Battle Creek and Jackson where total accumulations of 8 to 10 inches were common. The NWS office in Grand Rapids measured 9.7 inches of snow (8.1 on the 9th which was a new daily record and 1.6 on the 10th). An isolated 12 inch total was reported near Battle Creek. Otherwise, as expected, lighter amounts of snow fell up north. We will enjoy a stretch of quieter winter weather now through the weekend with only a small chance of a few intermittent flurries.
