National Geographic: Lake Effect Snowfall Is Your Fault

So, snow fell from Michigan to Vermont and up to Canada Monday. NJ got it, Western NC, Pennsylvania, Tennessee, Toronto

It was also still coming down in NY, Vermont, and Canada Tuesday, even into Tuesday night. So, of course

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.
