For lake-effect rain or snow to form, the air moving across the lake must be significantly cooler than the surface air (which is likely to be near the temperature of the water surface). Specifically, the air temperature at an altitude where the air pressure is 850 millibars (85 kPa ) (roughly 1.5 kilometers or 5,000 feet vertically) should be ...
Another, more recent lake-effect snowstorm of epic proportions dumped nearly 7 feet of snow across parts of New York in November 2022. Orchard Park received the highest storm total snowfall with a ...
According to weather historian Christopher Burt's book "Extreme Weather," extreme lake-effect snows are "normally very fluffy, with snow to water ratios as high as 40 inches of snow to melted ...
Lake-effect snow: Lake-effect snow forms when the air temperature is much colder than the unfrozen lake, and will wind down as soon as the lake freezes over. The longer it takes the lakes to ...
A minimal temperature difference of 29 °F (16 °C) [citation needed] between the surface and the 700 mbar (70 kPa) height is needed, but not necessarily sufficient in itself to cause lake-effect snow. An inversion or stable layer below 700 mbar (70 kPa) has never yielded lake-effect snow.
Lake effect snow is expected along the lakeshore in parts of Michigan on Monday, December 2, 2024. Locally significant accumulations are possible, particularly south of Holland.
A multi-day lake effect snow event off Lake Erie is ongoing, making travel "very difficult" throughout the Great Lakes region as a total of 3-12 inches of new snow was produced near Cleveland ...
Temperatures may plummet through the 20s and into the teens with AccuWeather RealFeel® Temperatures 15-30 degrees lower, factoring in gusty winds that often accompany the lake effect. Snow could ...
