Blizzard in the US
UPDATE SATURDAY. BUFFALO DUB IN SNOW, TWO SACRIFICES IN NEW YORK STATE. As expected, areas near the Great Lakes are being hit by heavy snowfalls and the situation on the east shore of Lake Erie is exceptional. In Buffalo, New York State, some areas of the city have exceeded the meter of fresh snow, with outright blizzards and even blizzards. In general, snow cover in the western part of New York State reaches even five feet and it’s not over yet: more snowfalls are expected in the next few hours. The blizzards caused great inconvenience and damage: over 7,000 people were left without power while a state of emergency was declared in 11 counties. Unfortunately, two victims are also reported from the Lake Eire area.

UPDATE FRIDAY. The central and northeastern United States continue to be affected a wave of frost that brought winter to many areasespecially those of the Great Lakes. Temperatures have dropped dramatically under zero up in the plains and rain snowy They whitewash some of the most important cities. Including Buffalo, but especially the area south of the city. At Durkirk, 50 cm of accumulation was achieved in just 24 hours, which is sensational considering we are only mid-November and these are flat lands. This is certainly nothing new for these areas, but sometimes it’s fun to remember that we’re on the same latitude as Rome. Common road traffic problems and more. Here are some videos and some webcams.

These heavy snowfalls are caused by the LAKE EFFECT SNOW phenomenon. What is it? When very cold currents flow over a milder water surface like that of large lakes, veritable precipitation bands form. This precipitation can also take on the character of a thunderstorm. Snow cores, which are then spilled from these vast lakes, ready to brighten all the surrounding areas. Let’s watch a video showing this phenomenon.
