... Cold with above normal precipitation and snow in February-April...

Great Lakes from the middle of January through April. Many locations
across Upper Michigan saw a top 10 wettest and snowiest February
through April period... with precipitation and snowfall as much as
200 percent or more of the 30-year normal. Record February through
April snow fell on Munising in 2013. The 109.5 inches that
accumulated there from 2/1 through 4/30 is over 50 inches above the
30-year average and about 3 inches more than the previous record
total that fell during this same period in 2002. A few places also
experienced a top 10 coldest February through April... with the mean
3-monthly temperatures running 2 to as much as 6 degrees below
normal.
