In an X post on Friday, the National Weather Service said heavy snowstorms have developed downwind of the Great Lakes and could make traveling in the area difficult or impossible.
The warning, which lasts through the weekend, extends to counties in at least five states including Wisconsin, Michigan, Ohio, Pennsylvania and New York.
Lake effect snow is caused by cold air moving across the warmer waters of the Great Lakes. It forms clouds that produce two to three inches of snow per hour.
So far, in parts of Pennsylvania, snowfall totals have already exceeded 40 inches.
New York State Department of Transportation (DOT) officials have asked individuals to stay off the roads.
We have been working tirelessly to keep Route 5 open in the Dunkirk area, however, over 100 vehicles had to be towed from Route 5 to make it possible for our plows to get through – THIS is why we ask that you stay off the roads if you do not have to travel! pic.twitter.com/iejKpPARXH
