WEST MICHIGAN — We won’t have the final totals until the snow completely diminishes overnight and comes to an end by early Monday morning, but here’s a general idea of where things stand based on reports to the National Weather Service and FOX 17.
The image attached to this story offers an overview as to where the heaviest snow has fallen. As forecast, anywhere from 10 to 15 inches occurred over our southern counties. Battle Creek had estimates of 14″, Schoolcraft and Kalamazoo are in the 13″-15″ range, while Mattawan is at about 13″.
Grand Rapids actually broke a snowfall record for February first. The old record for the date was set in 2011 with 6.1″. At last check GR tallied more than eight inches. Places like Grandville received 10 inches, Caledonia nine inches, East Grand Rapids eight inches, and Lansing about six inches.
Zeeland picked up eight inches, Muskegon 4.1″, and Fremont five inches. These are NOT final totals, so the numbers will increase a bit overnight. Grand Rapids season snowfall totals are in the 62″-63″ range. We’re now running about 12″ above normal for this time of year!
