WEST MICHIGAN — The first big snow event of the season started Thanksgiving night. We are now into December and the lake effect snow hasn't stopped for some, with impressive reports coming in from Bangor and South Haven in Van Buren County of more than a foot of snow by mid-morning Tuesday, This follows the reports from Monday that featured the heaviest snowfall we've seen in West Michigan this season in Ottawa Couunty.
Areas west of U.S-31 in Ottawa county recorded over 12" of snow in just 12 hours! Snow is still falling along the lakeshore, so expect final numbers to be even higher.
