The storm hit the region as expected.....but it never really came "together" for many of us as the computer models (and us forecasters) thought it would.Heavy snow tracked on through extreme northern lower Michigan and the U.P. through the first part of the night....while areas south of Frankfort/Gaylord/Alpena to M-55 saw a mix and rain. South of M-55 it was mostly rain through 230a.m.

*We do have some remaining warnings and advisories in effect including a Blizzard Warning for Alger and Marquette Counties in the central U.P.*

This storm jaunted a bit farther north than expected so the rain moved a bit farther north thus the snow moved a bit farther north as well.Please email us at weather@9and10news.com with your current conditions and snow totals (or ice/rain totals)!The cold air will continue to spill in today...temperatures this afternoon will be in the teens north to the lower 20's south.There will be a occasional snowshowers through the day especially near Lake Michigan and Lake Superior put a coating of snow on the frozen ground making things a bit more slippery.Winds will be out of the north today at 15-25mph and gusty adding to the chill.The weekend is looking colder than normal with highs in the teens and 20's but other than a few light snowshowers being possible, it is looking pretty quiet!
