Lansing averages 51 inches of snow per season across roughly 42 snowy days between November and April. The city is east of the primary lake-effect snow belt - meaning it gets more ice events relative to snowfall than Grand Rapids. Ice loading is what breaks trees.
Peak emergency call windows: January-February (ice storms, heavy snow), March (freeze-thaw cycling with wind events), June-July (summer thunderstorm microbursts). We keep crews available through the full winter season and don't scale back staffing in February.
