Northeastern U.S. Weather & Conditions

As far as East vs. West weather is concerned:
The West has much more precipitation volatility. The East has much more temperature volatility.

Do any of you easterners recall a winter where it has been bone dry for as long as a month? I doubt it. The bad years are the warm ones where it rains a lot.

That said, the West had had some temperature issues too this season, slowing down snowmaking progress at lower elevations.

Agree regarding the east. I cant recall prolonged dry.
 
No way Erie is giving much if any in the way of traditional lake effect. That lake does have a past history (rare number of years, but occasionally happens) of getting several feet of snow on top of the ice which in the right type of heavy wind then blows inland for nearly the equivalent of lake effect.

Ontario was 40% ice covered but plummeted to only 20% coverage in the past few days. I assume due to wind pushing the ice into the shoreline and re-opening lots of water areas.

Again guys, it’s not Lake Effect. Look at a full Atlantic/NE radar.

It’s a bit of Lake Enhancement snowfall in a few areas due to a low pressure system - a Nor’Easter (or Alberta Clipper). Not a cold front, but a storm system.

There are moisture streams of snow in New Brunswick, Nova Scotia and Ontario. Lake Erie is nearly 95% frozen. That’s not Lake Effect snow, nor enhancement. It’s low pressure moisture spinning around.


Radar on Feb 11th

Radar on Feb 12th - Storm is spinning not moving.

Lots of moisture being spun into Northeast.

Please Do not tell me Halifax and Fredericton are getting Lake Effect Snow!
