Кстати, о Lake effect snow:
"It’s still snowing in the Great Lakes after more than 5 feet fell over the holiday weekend and snarled travel, stranded motorists and buried homes. A short-lived break is coming before several inches of more snow and a blast of bone-chilling air arrive.
But first, an additional 1 foot of snow is possible through Tuesday in some of the same areas of the Great Lakes already blasted over the weekend as the current lake-effect snow event continues.
Lake-effect snow 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. Snow totals can pile up when these snow bands train, or remain more stationary, over a particular area.
It can also reduce visibility and make for impossible driving conditions.
That was the case Monday afternoon in southwestern Michigan. More than a dozen vehicles were involved in a crash in intense lake-effect snow that brought near-whiteout conditions along Interstate 94 near Hartford, according to Michigan State Police. At least one driver was critically injured, police said. The road was closed in both directions"
Мы как раз вчера по 65му в Индиану ехали- снимать журавлей. И пробки были довольно внушительные на 94м в Индиане - мы объезжали немного..Думали из-за праздничного траффика - а тут вот что, оказывается...
Но и журавли в результате полетели как раз на юг...Еще неделю назад их там мало было, а вчера слетаться начали просто тучами...
У нас снега еще пока не было при этом, видимо все в Мичигане и вывалилось...
