Upstate New York is no stranger to lake effect snow. While schools and businesses may shut down when this type of snow rolls in, it's important to understand what causes it. Places like Buffalo, Rochester, and Syracuse see historic snowfall, and residents understand just how much lake effect snow can make winter quite an experience.
But it's not just New York State that sees this sort of meteorological activity. Geographical and weather factors come into play to create these conditions and can be found all over the world-all you have to do is know where to look. This book will take you to places like Tug Hill Plateau, by Lake Ontario, which holds the record for 250 inches of snow in a single winter! You'll also visit a number of beautiful places all around the United States where you can witness lake effect snow in action.
You don't have to be a meteorologist to understand how lake effect snow is generated, and you don't have to be a winter lover to appreciate the beauty of these massive storms!
