  9. #ArcticBlast continues to bring #LakeEffectSnow, travel troubles

    A blast of Arctic air associated with a storm from Canada is still causing trouble on some roads downwind of the eastern Great Lakes as bands of snow continue and shift around.

    By Alex Sosnowski, AccuWeather senior meteorologist

    Published Dec 2, 2024 1:07 PM EST | Updated Dec 6, 2024 3:38 PM EST

    "Even as the Canadian storm that triggered intense lake-effect snow and heavy snow squalls and brought the first flakes of the season to much of the Interstate 95 Northeast is moving away, shifting Arctic breezes will cause lingering bands of lake-effect snow to shift around into Saturday off lakes Erie and Ontario, AccuWeather meteorologist say.

    "Lake-effect snow, which began around midweek, brought a fresh few feet of snow to some Great Lakes communities on top of the snow that fell last weekend. Far-reaching snow squalls quickly covered roads and triggered scores of accidents and road closures in the region.

    "While the worst of the lake-effect has passed, some lingering bands in upstate New York and northwestern Pennsylvania will still make travel slippery."

    The danger is it takes over large areas and deprives native pollinators food and a place to lay their eggs. Monarchs will use this plant but no larva will survive.
