#NOAA: 4 tips to keep you safe during a #SnowSquall
December 4, 2024
"It’s that time of year to watch out for one of the most dangerous and underplayed winter hazards while on the road: Snow squalls.
"A snow squall is a brief period of intense snowfall and wind that leads to whiteout conditions, zero visibility, a possible flash freeze and dangerous traffic accidents. Snow squalls are most common in the northern U.S. — especially around the #GreatLakes — between the months of November and March."

"Even as the Canadian storm that triggered intense lake-effect snow and heavy snow squalls and brought the first flakes of the season to much of the Interstate 95 Northeast is moving away, shifting Arctic breezes will cause lingering bands of lake-effect snow to shift around into Saturday off lakes Erie and Ontario, AccuWeather meteorologist say.
"Lake-effect snow, which began around midweek, brought a fresh few feet of snow to some Great Lakes communities on top of the snow that fell last weekend. Far-reaching snow squalls quickly covered roads and triggered scores of accidents and road closures in the region.
"While the worst of the lake-effect has passed, some lingering bands in upstate New York and northwestern Pennsylvania will still make travel slippery."
A heavy flurry of snow in the small hours has closed the schools and returned the village to white after a few days of thaw.
The trees in town look like coral at first glance (to me at least..🙂), but a crow perched at the very top surveying the scene gives the game away.
