Kankakee reporting rain and the back edge almost looks close. This is why I said 5" was the absolute max in Illinois with this system. I just didn't see enough support for more.
GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. (WOOD) — A moisture-laden storm system was poised to drop several inches of snow on West Michigan Saturday night and Sunday morning, but predictions didn’t materialize after an Arctic cold front’s arrival was delayed by several hours. The cold front would have changed the rain to snow, but instead, it loitered to the west, delaying the changeover by 3-6 hours. The result was more rain than expected and less snow.
According to the National Weather Service in Grand Rapids, snowfall from this storm ranged from all rain to as much as 5″ in Osceola County.
When the air mass finally cooled enough for snow accumulation, most of the storm’s precipitation had fallen as rain. Grand Rapids picked up 1.5″ of snow, but almost one half inch of rain fell since noon yesterday. A simple 10:1 conversion would make that five inches of snow. That’s just above what Storm Team 8 forecast for Grand Rapids.
But disappointed snow lovers should not worry. The late-arriving Arctic air mass will be with us all week and produce significant lake effect snow, especially on Tuesday.
