Lake-generated snow will continue to blanket the Great Lakes snowbelts into late week after some areas were buried in feet of snow over Thanksgiving weekend.

Happens now: The radar below shows there is still snow currently, from Michigan to Pennsylvania to New York State.

The National Weather Service has issued several winter weather advisories across the Great Lakes snowbelt, both for ongoing snowfall and for the next round, which will arrive Wednesday through Thursday.

More in advance: A powerful cold front, which forecasters are calling the “Alberta Clipper,” will rush south from Canada into the Midwest on Wednesday and then into the Northeast Wednesday night into early Thursday.

Given the strength of this cold front and the accompanying jet stream, short bursts of snow, called snow squalls, may accompany the cold front as it crosses the Great Lakes Wednesday and Wednesday night.

Combined with strong winds ahead and behind the front, these snow squalls may cause sudden, dangerous visibility reductions and rapid accumulations on dry roads. Keep this in mind even if driving Wednesday and Wednesday night in areas outside the Great Lakes snow belt.

These cold winds moving across the even warmer Great Lakes will regenerate the lakes’ snow bands Wednesday through Thursday before dissipating from west to east on Friday.

meters of snow last weekend: The first truly widespread lake snow event of the season over the holiday weekend dropped over 4 feet of snow in several locations in northeastern Ohio and northwestern Pennsylvania, parts of southwestern and northern New York state, and Ontario, Canada.

State leaders included Castorland, New York (65.9 inches); Saybrook, Ohio (61.2 inches); Girard, Pennsylvania (59.3 inches); Otsego Lake, Michigan (46.7 inches); and Echo Bay, Ontario (136 cm or 53.5 inches).

In Erie, Pennsylvania, only 0.1 inches of snow fell in the season leading up to Thanksgiving. Then, 22.6 inches of snow fell on Black Friday alone, the record-heaviest snowfall in a calendar day.

Sault Ste. Marie, Michigan had its longest wait ever for the first measurable snow of the season, arriving over a month later than average on November 25th. But then they were buried by 42 inches of snow in the last six days of November, almost three times the monthly average.

In western New York, the highest snow totals were in southern Chautauqua and Cattaraugus counties, where two locations saw 53 to 54 inches. However, the Buffalo Metro’s “Southtowns” were also hit by 1 to 3 feet of snow. That included Orchard Park, where the NFL’s Buffalo Bills hosted the San Francisco 49ers on Sunday night after both parking lots and the stadium had to be cleared.
