Lake Effect Maps

Here are a couple of maps illustrating my thoughts on the lake effect snow. The map on the left shows an approximation of the band set up. This doesn't mean the heaviest snow will form right in these areas. Instead, it is just to show that there will likely be multiple bands of heavy snow embedded in a general spray of lake effect. Likewise, with the snow fall amounts, not everyone in the 6-12" or even the 3-7" range will get that much. That all depends on the set up of the bands.
