Description:
Streaks of snow were left behind after the lake effect snow machine was in full effect across New York and Pennsylvania.
As of Nov. 28, over 23 inches of snow had accumulated on Lake Ontario. The lake effect snow storm caused white out conditions all around the Great Lakes.
Over a foot of snow was predicted in upstate New York, around Syracuse and south of Buffalo.
Lake effect snow is caused by cold wind mixing with warmer waters over lakes that have not frozen yet in the winter season.
