It takes just the right conditions to produce lake-effect snow, but when they come together, it creates some of the most extreme winter weather found anywhere on the planet.
Perfectly blue skies can turn to a blinding snow storm in minutes, producing snow amounts that will bury your ruler in a couple hours. The Great Lakes is the only place where lake-effect snow occurs in the United States, except occasionally at the Great Salt Lake in Utah, according to CNN meteorologist Brandon Miller. But what exactly is lake-effect snow? Miller said it happens when very cold, windy conditions form over a not-so-cold lake.
The National Weather Service webpage on lake-effect snow says that “wind direction is a key component in determining which areas will receive lake-effect snow. Heavy snow may be falling in one location, while the sun may be shining just a mile or two away in either direction.” Upstate New York and the cities of Rochester, Buffalo and Syracuse are the hot spots – maybe they should be called cold spots – for lake-enhanced snow in the United States, Miller said.
