It's global waming, you know. That's why the polar ice caps are getting thicker, too.raebates said:We're currently experiencing white-out conditions. Lovely.

LOOK...this penguin was blown through Rae's town in the lake effect! This is a picture of Rae and the bird!The_Kitchen_Guy said:It's global waming, you know. That's why the polar ice caps are getting thicker, too.
Love it, Rae!! Yesterday we had blinding sun and today we have snow! I love it...I should move to Alaska, but it is just a bit too remote for me!raebates said:Actually, the young woman in the photo is a bit taller than I.
The phenomenon of "lake effect snow" occurs when cold, dry air passes over the relatively warm waters of the Great Lakes. This causes the air to pick up moisture and create heavy snowfall as it moves inland. The closer the area is to the lake, the more snow it will receive.
You can check the radar by using a weather app or website that shows radar images. Look for areas with a band of heavy snow extending from the lakeshore inland. This is a good indication that the area is experiencing lake effect snow.
Snow days are determined by the local school district, taking into account the safety of students and staff. While lake effect snow can certainly cause school closures, it ultimately depends on the severity and timing of the snowfall. You should stay updated with your local school district for any announcements.
Like any other snowstorm, lake effect snow can be dangerous if proper precautions are not taken. Heavy snowfall can reduce visibility and make driving difficult. It can also lead to power outages and school closures. It's important to stay informed and prepared for any potential hazards.
Lake effect snow is a natural weather phenomenon that cannot be prevented. However, efforts have been made to mitigate its effects, such as building snow fences to prevent snowdrifts on roads and using salt to melt snow and ice on roads. Ultimately, the best way to deal with lake effect snow is to stay informed and prepared for its impact.
