Its snowing here, 4 to 6" is what they are calling for, we are down off the ridge a bit so I am sure we should be on the low end of that number. How far north are you Devil? How close to the Lake, or how close to Rt 80. My son lived in Meadville for awhile and I was amazed how much more snow they got up there than we got down here.
The Lake effect does make a Huge difference in the amount of snow you get up there. [ For those of you from other parts of the country we are taking about the effect Lake Erie has on the amount of snow because cold Northern winds come out of Canada across the Lake and pick up moisture, when it hits land it dumps it,
] Close to the lake there is a warming effect from the lake waters and there is a huge fruit area very close to the lake, the father you get away from the lake the snow effect is profound. Rt 80 is normally the line where the Lake effect tends to drop off, above Rt 80 is a Huge snow belt. Below Rt 80 not normally so much. To day the Lake effect went to the Md line dumping a lot of snow here in the Mountains. I am just west of the Mountain so I won't see too much snow compared to some other places.
Never doubt that a small group of dedicated people can change the world, indeed it is the only thing that ever has.
