Snowfall totals from the snowstorm hitting greater Grand Rapids and West Michigan in some locales piled up more than a foot of the white, fluffy stuff, according to the National Weather Service's Grand Rapids Office.

Grand Rapids set a new daily Feb. 1 snowfall record with 8.8 inches on Sunday, breaking the old mark of 6.1 inches set in 2011.
