Description: Goes into detail about how forecasters are trying to better predict lake effect snow.
Imagine you are traveling from Cleveland to Buffalo on a sunny November afternoon. An occasional patch of snow is noticed in the countryside. Cold winds blow briskly from the west, and the sky to the northwest starts to darken. Traveling a few miles further up the road, the sky becomes cloudy and flurries are encountered. Suddenly, the entire sky darkens on the horizon and the snow becomes heavier. Only a minute later, trillions of snowflakes are seen cascading to the ground at a rate of several inches per hour. Visibility decreases rapidly as snow intensifies. Hopes of getting to Buffalo end abruptly. What could have caused an incredulous change of weather within a stretch of a few miles?
