Winter Storm Totals from Dec 26-27th, 2012

Our first snowstorm of the Winter 2012-13 lived up to its expectations for the most part with a general 4 - 7" snowfall. As expected; areas over the far east had the most snow with some 8 - 10" falls while areas over far northwest (Midland and Bay counties) had little to none. 

Here's the snowfall map and specific amounts from our NWS spotters. Here in northern Livonia, I received 6.2" total with some foot drifts.
