The National Weather Service has issued “lake effect” snow warnings and advisories for areas to the east of Lakes Erie and Ontario through Sunday evening (Fig. 1). These forecasts call for locally heavy snow and wind-blown snow with associated hazardous driving conditions. Forecasts for areas in New York State downwind of… To read the full story, click here - http://www.weatherworks.com/lifelong-learning-blog/?p=1224

Fascinating! I recall Alastaire Cooke ( BBC reporter in U.S.A. 1935 - 1960s.) mentioning the U.S.A. lake effect & 8 feet of snow accumulating in Buffalo on one occasion. Here in the U.K. we sometimes experience a "sea" effect when temperatures of say 10 - 20F, moving westwards along the southern boundary of a high over Scandinavia, travel over the North Sea and reach our shores at about 25 - 30F & dump sustained snowfall on our east & south east counties, particularly in 1947, 1963, 1980, and 2009. Roads were impassable for a few days.

Thank you so much for your positive feedback! You most certainly do see "sea effect" snowfall across parts of the United Kingdom on occasion. Definitely some interesting stories you have there and thank you for sharing them with us! Please share our website with other friends, family, and colleagues of yours! We continue to greatly appreciate your support!

Further to earlier correspondence I have in front of me details of an event on 18th. January 1881 when a depression moved from the Bay of Biscay to the Isle of Wight & thence southwards into France. Coupled with high pressure to the east & north east of the U.K.the "sea effect" dumped vast quantities of snow in gale force winds on Kent. Trains were buried under massive drifts up to 16 ft.deep. The details I have regarding this event would fill some 25 times the area of this "box" with stunning reports of the havoc borne by the whole of south east England. Needless to say, the "sea effect" was probably secondary to the depression effect.
