We have about 4" on the ground now, and it's supposed to snow this weekend. I'm just lucky we haven't had the dreadful Lake Effect Snow yet. I'm near Lake Erie (and if the lake water is warm enough, look out), so in areas we can see a foot of snow within an hour. That depends on the jet stream. If it's more south, than where I'm at, we get the Lake Effect Snow. It the jet stream is more eastward, the east part of Cleveland gets it.

Yep, that's alot of snow! We didn't get lost once we got to the city, it was an interesting trip getting there!!
looks like we have a storm coming across the west, hopefully clear by Tuesday when we leave for PHX.
busy day today, playing a cantata twice this morning, then a party (playing during cocktails and dinner) tonight

Enjoy your party, phid ! :smilie:

If the the lake is warm enough, the moisture from the lake stirs up in the atmosphere, and since the air is cold, you get these big chunks of snow. And, it's really nasty, because it's produced in large amounts. Because of the combination of the moisture and the cold air, you get the Lake Effect Snow. By January, usually, you won't get Lake Effect Snow, since the lake is pretty much cooled or frozen over. Four places on the planet have it. The Great Lakes region is one of them. I think one is Salt Lake City, somewhere in Japan and somewhere in Russia. I forget though.

Gee. I'm happy we dont't have it. It's difficult enough to deal with our amount of snow.
