This was a good storm.

In NE Detroit, we saw heavy rain/thunderstorms on the night of February 5th, then it switched to freezing rain/sleet on February 6th before changing to heavy snow (2.5" per hour rates) after 4 PM. We picked up a quick 5" in 2 hours. The NWS thought about upgrading us to a Witner Storm Warning, but they left us with a Winter Weather Advisory instead. I think there was thundersnow with this in spots.
