A snowstorm hitting the Midwest dumped more than 19 inches of snow in northern Michigan and knocked out power to at least 142,000 state electricity customers.
Storms brought heavy snow to parts of southern Michigan, with up to 10 inches reported in the Lansing area.
The National Weather Service says 7 to 9.5 inches of snow fell by Wednesday morning around Lansing. WLNS-TV reports 10 inches in St. Johns. Most Lansing-area schools were closed.
The snow came after heavy rains flooded some areas and roadways Tuesday. The storms left thousands without power.
