A lake-effect snow event got underway across the Great Lakes over the weekend. | Courtesy AccuWeather Youtube POUNDED WITH SNOW — While you may or may not be ready for snowstorms to hit eastern Idaho, some people across the country are currently dealing with massive amounts of snow and videos have gone viral showing the extreme conditions. A conglomeration of clips were pieced into a 40 second video shared on AccuWeather’s Youtube page after more than five feet of snow fell over the weekend around the Great Lakes. “A lake-effect snow event is underway across the Great Lakes and interior Northeast, burying towns like Erie, Pennsylvania, under feet of snow with more on the way,” the video’s caption dated Nov. 30, 2024, reads. Lake-effect snow is when cold air passes over relatively warmer lakes and happens as a series of narrow, but intense periods of snow — known as snow bands — that stream off of the lake and into an area close to it downwind. CNN mentioned snow totals can pile up when these snow bands train, or remain more stationary, over a particular area. AccuWeather’s video shows clips from Pennsylvania, New York, Ohio, and Michigan. Footage shows cars buried in feet of snow, vehicles stuck on snowy roads, and people pushing cars out of the way. “The last five hours I’ve been trying to get unstuck. Now I just turned around and got stuck again,” a man in the video says. “Now my snowblower don’t run. Cars are jackknifed in the middle of the road. Part of life.” “We’re well over 20 inches today,” someone else says as the video continues to play. Another voice asks, “All this came in a matter of seconds, right?” “Yeah, like a minute,” a person responds. To those effected by this major snowstorm, stay warm and stay safe.
