A stationary lake-effect snowband off Lake Erie dumped an incredible 34 inches of snow at Erie Airport on Christmas Day alone, quadrupling their previous record snowiest Christmas Day - 8.1 inches in 2002 - as well as smashing their all-time snowiest single day on record by over a foot - 20 inches on Nov. 11, 1956.
That heavy snow continued into Tuesday, bringing their storm total since 7 p.m. EST Christmas Eve to an incredible 56.5 inches of snow - just over 4.5 feet - in 42 hours.
This prolific event shattered all previous multi-day snowfall records in Erie dating to 1893, according to the National Weather Service office in Cleveland, including:
Two-day snowfall: 26.7 inches (Nov. 24-25, 1950; the "Great Appalachian Storm") Three-day snowfall: 30.2 inches (Dec. 29-31, 2002) Seven-day snowfall: 39.8 inches (Dec. 27, 2001 - Jan. 2, 2002) 13-day snowfall: 52.8 inches (Dec. 31, 1998 - Jan. 12, 1999)
Needless to say, the 92 inches of snow so far in December is the city's snowiest single month on record, crushing the previous record of 66.9 inches in December 1989.

December will be a few degrees warmer than normal, hovering in the mid-to-high 40s, according to AccuWeather.
December will be fairly mild, Boston said. You might get some storms with snow, but probably more rain.
OK, so what about a white Christmas? [the Harrisburg area]
Theres a lower-than-average chance of a white Christmas, but it can get stormy, Boston said.
So, theres still a chance?
Theres less than a 1-in-3 chance, he said. Its not out of the question, but odds favor February and possible even March for snow....
Erie, where its not unusual to see heavy snow in November, is expected to get more lake-effect snow this year. - http://www.pennlive.com/news/2017/10/snow_ice_rain_coming_to_pa_acc.html
I hope algore is buried under all that glowbull warming..I mean snow.
My wife’s family lives in the Akron, OH area and we’ve made the drive on I-90 through Erie many a time and have driven through some wicked snow storms, but at 50 inches, this one takes the cake! Be careful of the lake effect snow driving along Lake Erie and also the eastern end of Lake Ontario!
The Finger lakes region of New York also gets hammered with lake affect snows at times.

Our first winter in New Hampshire my wife was pregnant and I always had to keep the driveway open in case we needed to make a quick dash to the hospital. It snowed 48 inches in January. My daughter was born on Feb 1. It felt like I was shoveling nonstop for the entire month.
Nex winter I had a Ford F350 with an 8 foot Fisher plow on the front. I learned my lesson.
I’m from Erie. I fish there visit there and party there. But I still say they only have two seasons. Winter and the 4th of July.
Warsaw in Wyoming County is getting nailed and also Chautauqua and southern Erie Counties!
And in 2015 you must have made some money!
Mrs. BN & our daughter’s family spent 16 hours driving back from Vermont to Cleveland area on Friday AM/Saturday AM through a miserable snowstorm. Thankfully, they were not two days later!
Right now it’s 16 degrees, going down to 8 tonight. Last night the wind chill was minus 5.
Tell me again what’s wrong with ‘Global Warming’?
I live smack dab between Cleveland and Akron, in a secondary snowbelt. We didn’t get one flake today!
Well, the liberals changed the name of global warming to climate change, because now they have decided that extreme weather of any kind is due to global warming/climate change, not just warmer weather.
Extreme snow is part of global warming, who knew?
The liberals have set up this discussion, so that any weather event can be blamed on global warming.
What we're getting now is certainly not global warming. It's weird weather variations. The trees had leaves around here until the week after Thanksgiving! (metro Cleveland)
Obviously it proves global warming, because milder and milder winters until eventually snow is a memory leads to more snowfall.

Doesn’t lake effect snow depend on the Great Lakes not being frozen?
Interesting question got me to looking on the internet for an answer. Looks like once frozen, lake effect snow is reduced. A storm can’t pull in additional moisture from the frozen surface to contribute to the snowfall. The temperature differential between the land and the lake is also reduced once the surface is frozen, so you no longer have a relatively warmer front running into colder land triggering precipitation.

The moisture source that builds glaciers. Warm surface waters and cold air from the north. Fire and ice is coming. That is how the ice age returns. We were at freezing today with 100 % humidity.
Yes, night temps here for next 7 days range from 2 to 10, while the NWS predicted warmer than normal.
It seems what can be blamed on AGW is extensive, and no dissent is to be tolerated.
True.
Less snow or more snow, higher temps, lower temps, it all gets blamed on global warming.
And there are people who want dissenting thinking banned, and the thought criminals imprisoned or executed.
