Intense snowfall covers areas of the Great Lakes Region, with states preparing for continued blizzard-like conditions in the upcoming days. A lake-effect storm brought several feet of snow to parts of the region by the start of the weekend. Residents are struggling to navigate through the heavy snow, with some unable to even leave their homes to access their vehicles.

Kimberly Stolar was relieved to be indoors in Erie, Pennsylvania on Saturday. She was unable to leave her house because the front door was blocked by around 50 inches of snow. Despite knowing her SUV was in the driveway, she couldn’t locate it due to the heavy snow drifts.
Ms. Stolar, a 33-year-old woman from Erie, expressed her gratitude for what she has in her house despite being stuck inside due to the storm. She mentioned that this storm was the most severe one she could remember.
Certain areas in the upper Midwest and Northeast, specifically western New York and Pennsylvania, were preparing for additional snow on Sunday after receiving over two feet of snow during the holiday weekend, with some regions getting more than three feet. The lake-effect snowstorm, which has already caused travel disruptions after Thanksgiving and left numerous vehicles stranded on highways, could potentially bring up to six feet of snow to certain areas by Tuesday morning.
The National Weather Service issued lake-effect snow warnings for over two million residents in Michigan, Ohio, Pennsylvania, and New York on Sunday morning.
According to the Weather Service, the heaviest snowfall on Saturday occurred along Interstate 90, which runs along Lake Erie from Buffalo through Pennsylvania and Cleveland. Areas like Erie, northern Michigan, eastern Ohio, and western New York received approximately 30 inches of snow or more. National Guard troops were called to duty in New York and Pennsylvania to help with the snowfall.
