What is lake-effect snow? Here’s how climate change is altering it
Winter weather is ransacking the Chicago metro area and parts of Indiana as the region experiences one of winter’s most brutal weather phenomena: lake-effect snow. Heavy snow covered the area Sunday night into Monday morning, with more than a foot of snow recorded by mid-Monday.
Lake-effect snow forms when warm, unfrozen lake water and cold air meet. Some of the lake water evaporates into the air, making it warmer and wetter. Once that air moves inland, that moisture cools and turns into snow.
If the wind is blowing over large portions of one of the Great Lakes, the storm system will take in more water. The greater the temperature difference between the winds and water, the more moisture is absorbed into the atmosphere.
This type of snow storm is most common in the Great Lakes region because of their large size and location near populous cities.
So, it’s normal. It’s been as normal as normal as long as people were in the area.
But as the planet warms, will we continue to see major Midwestern snow storms? Here’s the science behind this phenomena and how climate change could make these storms more intense in the short term.
You’re welcome to read the article, but, it’s the same old same old cult propaganda, where you driving a fossil fueled vehicle and making the world burn causes lots of snow.
FTA: “Here’s the science behind… 50 years worth of failed predictions and warnings” Fixed it.

At 630 feet in Estill County, we got several rounds of snow, but the pavement was too warm for it to stick, and even on my truck, it accumulated less than ½ inch. The wind was pretty cold on Monday, not so bad on Tuesday, and the forecast is for the low sixties through the weekend and into next week.
I am not a fan of autumn. We get three weeks of colorful trees and cooler nights with warm but not hot days. But, after the leaves fall — pun definitely intended — we are left with bare trees and brown grass, colder winds, and a world that’s just not as pretty until March or April.
Sadly, autumn is prettier in Pennsylvania than Kentucky. My neighborhood in Jim Thorpe was full of autumn trees in red, green, and gold. Alas! we seem to be missing most of the red trees around our current home, so there’s less variety.
