‘It just keeps coming and coming’: Heavy lake-effect snow dumps more than 5 feet over parts of Great Lakes region
As biting cold temperatures sweep across a large swath of the US, parts of the Great Lakes face more than a foot of additional lake-effect snow through Tuesday – the latest complication for cities already blanketed by snowfall amid post-Thanksgiving travel.
More than 5 feet of snow fell on parts of western New York the last few days, according to the National Weather Service’s Weather Prediction Center, with some places exceeding the 4-foot mark Sunday. Barnes Corners, New York, saw 65.5 inches – over 5 feet – by Monday morning, according to the weather service.
Lake-effect warnings for parts of western New York, northeastern Ohio and northwestern Pennsylvania are in effect into Tuesday.
