White-Out Conditions as New York Hit by Lake-Effect Snow Event
Lake-effect snow occurs when cold, dry air moves over a body of water, in this case, the Great Lakes, and picks up moisture from the lake's surface. When the air moves over land, it cools, and the moisture condenses, leading to snowfall.
The Great Lakes experienced a surge of activity as arctic air passed over record-warm waters, generating prolific snowfall.
