Lake-effect snow blowing in from the Great Lakes has blanketed parts of Michigan, Ohiohighway, Pennsylvania and New York, stranding hundreds of vehicles on roads and snarling post-Thanksgiving travel.
Well over two feet of snow had fallen in many parts of the region by early Monday, with some communities getting more than three feet. Lake-effect snow warnings, freeze alerts and other winter advisories remained in effect in many areas as bands of snow continued streaming off the lakes Monday morning.
The lake-effect conditions are expected to continue dumping snow in parts of the Great Lakes region during the week, meteorologists said. Some areas could see up to six feet of snow by Tuesday, with the heaviest snowfall expected along the belly of Lake Erie and Lake Ontario in Pennsylvania and New York. Governors of both states have made disaster declarations in these areas and deployed National Guard troops.
“It’s going to be pretty brutal,” said Brian Hurley, a senior meteorologist at the National Weather Service.
There have been some reports of minor injuries, and no reports of deaths, from this storm so far.
Here’s what we know about the snowstorm.
