Northwesterly flow lake effect has been pounding some of the "snow belt" locations downwind of the Great Lakes since yesterday, with up to a foot or more of new snow reported over parts of Michigan. Significant snow has also been falling over the higher elevations of West Virginia, where over a foot of snow could fall by tomorrow morning! Winds are expected to shift to a more northerly direction from west to east across the Great Lakes tonight, so lake effect snow watches have been issued for the favored northerly flow locations of the Upper Peninsula of MI and northern WI for tomorrow and tomorrow night. The winter storm warnings (dark blue), watches (purple) and advisories (light blue and pink) are shown below:


Chris Chittick is currently in Spring Lake, MI, on the Lake Michigan shoreline, and experienced heavy lake effect snow squalls last night. He sent me the pictures below.. 3-4 inches of new snow fell there, but quickly melted as the sun came out this morning. If anyone else would like to contribute photos of extreme weather to the blog, please email them to me at reed@tornadovideos.net
