Overview

A winter storm impacted southeast Michigan mainly during the morning and mid-day hours of March 10th, 2023. This system produced widespread snow accumulations of 2 to 5 inches with locally higher amounts in excess of 5 inches concentrated south of I-94 and near the Lake Huron shoreline. Just to our west in Grand Rapids, localized accumulations up to a foot were reported likely due to a robust snowband on the leading edge of the precipitation shield. Snow to liquid ratios favored typical snowflake characteristics for early March, resulting in a drier/fluffier snow in comparison to the March 3rd, 2023 winter storm. A notable feature of this system was the substantial melting that occurred throughout the day, owing to the March sun angle and daytime temperatures rising into the mid 30s.
