[QUOTE="UpstateNYUPSer(Ret), post: 912174, member: 12570"] The weird part about lake effect snow is that it is not part of a storm--it is simply cold air picking up moisture over a warm body of water and dumping it when it meets cold land. I have driven through a lake effect event two separate times and both times were white-knuckle moments. Picture going from a sunny day in to a blizzard and then back out in less than 1/2 hour. Imagine going from 65+ mph down to less than 20 on a major highway (I-81). Try to imagine the frustration of shoveling a foot or more of snow today only to have to do it again tomorrow and maybe even the day after while your neighbors less than an hour away wake up to clear skies.
