| Overview | Radar |
March came in like a lion never seemed more appropriate than for this winter storm that affected Southeast Michigan on the first day of March. The weather so far for the winter season has been quite a roller coaster with winter storms and above normal temperatures. The two days leading up to this event featured above normal temperatures in the 50s and 60s as southerly winds brought in warmer air ahead of the low pressure system. This low pressure system took shape out in the southern plains and quickly deepened as it moved northeast across the Ohio Valley. This system brought a mixed bag of precipitation to the area including rain and freezing rain to locations around the Detroit area and points south while areas north saw all snow. Areas that saw all snow, especially across the Saginaw Valley and Thumb areas had upwards of a foot of snow in some locations. The Detroit and Downriver areas where a mixture of precipitation types fell, only saw a couple of inches of snow. As the low pressure pushed northeast, warmer air was able to work in for a longer period of this area and thus cutting into the total snowfall accumulations. Now the question is will March go out like a lamb. Only time will tell!
