PHOTOS: Southwest Michigan is a Sight to See After the First Snowfall of 2016

Southwest Michigan was pelted with snow over the past week and was transformed under the 19 inch blanket of snow.  

According to x98ruhf.net, a website that reports daily snow depths, says the winter storm dropped 19 inches of snow since Thursday, December 8th.  I think it's safe to say we will have a white Christmas this year.  Local Instagram users show how beautiful Southwest Michigan looks under a blanket of snow.

Blessed. Started my day horribly with falling, to being late to work, to staying late at work. But when you walk out of work and see this. All it seems to disappear. I stood outside of work and just gazed at this for a couple of minutes. #blessed #mittenstate #sunsets #southwest #sunset #puremichigan #southwestmichigan #swmichigan #michigan #stjoesph #MI
