Abstract:

Analyses have been made of a number of recent cases of lake effect snowfall along the southern and eastern shores of Lake Erie. Synoptic analyses are presented to show the large-scale weather situations in which severe lake effect snowstorms occur, and also some of the mesoscale characteristics of the snow squall bands. Examples are included which show typical characteristics as they appeared in several different storms. Meso-analysis of a Lake Ontario storm reveals distinctive pressure, wind, and convergence patterns that are associated with Lake effect storms. Author
