In the wake of , lake-effect snow has kicked in again across portions of the Great Lakes region.

We will continue to deal with the lake-effect snow off and on this week as in between large-scale weather systems.

Gorgon was one of those. In fact, a beefy lake-effect snow event squeezed in on Monday, after and before Winter Storm Gorgon. That lake-effect episode dumped a quick 28.5 inches of snow near Fulton, New York, which is in the Lake Ontario snowbelt in Oswego County.

The current lake-effect snow setup has already brought another 23.5 inches of snow near Watertown, New York, as of Wednesday morning. A band of snow off of Lake Erie yielded 14.5 inches of snow in Elma, New York in 24 hours through 7 a.m. EST Wednesday morning.

As you may recall, parts of the Buffalo Southtowns picked up 7 feet of snow in the Unlike that event, wind directions are expected to wobble around quite a bit this week, preventing the sort of firehose effect where one band sets up and hammers the same area for a long duration.

Bands of heavy lake-effect snow also sagged southward over the Cleveland metro area early Wednesday morning. In Michigan's Upper Peninsula, a stretch of M-28 between Marquette and Munising, Michigan was still closed early Wednesday due to whiteout conditions. Multiple heavy snowbands were also hammering parts of northern and western Lower Michigan into northern Indiana.

Another, weaker clipper-type system will cross the Great Lakes on Thursday and Thursday night, disrupting the lake-effect bands but bringing a widespread light to moderate snow to the entire region, including areas outside the lake snow belts. Lake-effect snow should resume once that system moves away.

Given the arctic air mass in place, the snow will have a relatively low water content and will, thus, be easily blown around by strong winds, reducing visibilities, leading to dangerous travel conditions.
