Here on the Lake Michigan Shoreline in West Michigan straight across the wide lake from Milwaukee WI (approx. 100 miles) it's not that bad at all. Just some wind and a light dusting of snow pellets here early Sunday morning and nothing remotely like what was forecasted to have occurred. Temp is 33 at 11:45 am and rising so any precip will be just rain.
Officially, the weather stations report a total of 1/10 to 6/10ths of an inch of snow is on the ground in our area and the same at our home as of 11am 4/15 here and the temps will be rising to the upper 30s today, so it will melt anyway very soon. 50+ miles to the north of us and roughly 100 miles east of us it's quite a different story.
The odd thing is that up north at the Straits, the Big Mac 5 mile long bridge connecting the L.P to the U.P., and the southern U.P., approx 275 miles north of us, just some wind and no snow fell. However, about 100+ miles to the west of there they got dumped on and with ice also. The cold side of the Great Lakes area in the USA! We feel sorry for the folks in Minnesota etc as they know so well what being real bitterly cold really is!
