The early 70's the entire Midwest was taking shots off the great lakes. I remember the TV news casts showing those folks dumping truck loads of snow off the bridges in NY, Buffalo, Philadelphia, and a few other areas..
New York and Philadelphia don't get lake effect snow. They have no lake to their west.
Doesn't require it to be west. Only in line with current wind direction.. And it can also pick up moisture, increase in altitude and deposit it up to 100 miles away. If you want to get technical about it...
Weather moves from west to east because of the rotation of the earth, unless it's a hurricane which goes backward. And again, neither city has a lake within 100 miles. Erie and Ontario are more like 400. Too far.
Look, I'm from there, I know what the weather is.
Lake effect is a poor descriptor of this phenomenon as it can happen above large rivers or any other body of water that is significantly warmer than the air mass above it.
"River effect"?
Don't think so. And even if it did work that way, those cities don't have large rivers to their west either. The Schuylkill isn't big, and it comes down from the north anyway.
What Is Lake-Effect Snow?
When it is much colder than the lake below. the warmth from the lake rise and deposits it's crap all over Buffalo. Now when it happens in the middle of November it becomes a problem for the 'global warming' advocates.
It's really only a problem for those who still don't grok the difference between weather and climate.
Snow in mid-November is nothing unusual in those latitudes. We had snow here in Carolina weeks ago.

heeehee...Which goal post are we aiming at today??? Let's see it was called global warming then some fool realized "hey, it ain't really warming. we have to rename it to some benign definition that cannot be pegged down with mear facts. Let's call it "Climate Change". We are certainly safe with that since the climate has always changed....Duhhhhhh

Irrelevant. What you posted and tried to hide (I put it back above) was that snow in mid-November in upstate New York is some kind of "problem". It isn't. It's normal weather.
Yeah you did. It's still sitting above and I quote:What Is Lake-Effect Snow?

Did I say it was a problem.
You stated that people on this forum couldn't distinguish between what you all used to call "Global Warming" and what you call " Climate Change" today. Guess what? We all recognize your bullcrap.
And as I just told you, it isn't. Lake effect is a normal weather pattern when you live to the west of a Great Lake.
According to "Climate Change" advocates the norm is obsolete...What happened to Buffalo. Either it should be buried in 20 ft. of snow or become a tropical paradise according to the 'talking heads'.
That's fine...except for the poor people in Buffalo. Now. are you saying...that is normal or IS IT "climate change" Be brave...don't be wishy washy... we are damned tired of it. Either you have something real and "The Truth" or you are hoping your imagination can masquerade as such. Have at it.

As someone who has lived near several large rivers it does indeed happen.. Simple physics of the process says it can..The early 70's the entire Midwest was taking shots off the great lakes. I remember the TV news casts showing those folks dumping truck loads of snow off the bridges in NY, Buffalo, Philadelphia, and a few other areas..
