Wild weather: First storm of season causes problems

via Midland Daily News

The season’s first snow provided a scenic backdrop for Midland’s Courthouse Lighting ceremonyTuesday night, but later caused misfortune for some motorists and those who were left without power. Especially hard hit was the City of Midland and southern areas of the county, where a National Weather Service observer tallied 6.6 inches of snow between 7 p.m. Tuesday and 7 a.m. Wednesday. Areas in northwestern Midland County barely received a dusting of flakes. Snowy and icy roadways led to a two-hour delay for Midland Public Schools, the Midland County ESA and St. John’s Lutheran, while closing Midland Christian School and the Midland Academy of Advanced and Creative Studies. Delta College did not to open until 10 a.m. and Saginaw Valley State University was closed until noon.
