Lake Effect Snow...missed it

Posted at 7:31 AM on February 4, 2009 by Craig Edwards (1 Comments)

Within minutes of commenting this morning that the only precipitation was over the eastern Carolinas, I zoomed into Cleveland and spied Lake Effect snow. About the same time I opened an email from a listener near Rochester NY who also informed me of lake effect snow in his region.

Should have caught that. I know better after doing this for 36 years.

Cold sunshine in our neck of the woods today. Moderating to above normal temperatures on Thursday afternoon.

Also missed (at least to the magnitude) was the lake-effect snowfall southeast of Lake Michigan. It looks like the winds were juuuust right for a long fetch over Lake Michigan, which dumped 2 to 3 feet of snowfall in a small area of northwestern Indiana. From what I remember, we usually don't get such a wind flow over that lake. Usually there's more of a westerly component, giving the lake-effect snows to western lower Michigan.
