Areas in Michigan, Ohio, Pennsylvania, and New York have been covered in snow brought in by lake-effect snow from the Great Lakes. This has resulted in many vehicles being stuck on roads and causing travel delays after the Thanksgiving holiday.
By early Monday, many areas in the region had received more than two feet of snow, with some communities getting over three feet. There were still warnings for lake-effect snow, freeze alerts, and other winter advisories in place in many areas as bands of snow continued to come off the lakes on Monday morning.
Meteorologists predict that the lake-effect snow will persist in certain areas of the Great Lakes region throughout the week. Some regions may receive up to six feet of snow by Tuesday, with the most intense snowfall anticipated near Lake Erie and Lake Ontario in Pennsylvania and New York. The governors of these states have issued disaster declarations for these areas and have sent National Guard troops to assist.
Brian Hurley, a senior meteorologist at the National Weather Service, stated that the weather conditions are expected to be harsh.
There have been a few cases of minor injuries but no fatalities reported from the storm at this time.
Here is the information we have regarding the snowstorm.
