Lake Effect Snow Warning
Issued by the National Weather Service at 3:05 am EST on November 21, 2008
... Lake effect snow warning remains in effect until 1 PM EST this
afternoon...
Snow showers will continue across the area... and could be locally
heavy through daybreak reducing visibilities to below a mile at
times. The snow showers will become less intense through the day
as they spread inland.
An additional 1 to 4 inches of snow is expected through the day.
Storm total accumulations will range from 2 to 4 inches
inland... to locally over a foot across far southwest Allegan
County and western Van Buren County.
A lake effect snow warning means significant amounts of lake
effect snow are forecast that will make travel very hazardous or
impossible. Lake effect snow showers typically align themselves
in bands and will likely be intense enough to drop 1 to several
inches of snow per hour for several hours. Visibilities vary
greatly and can drop to zero within minutes. Travel is strongly
discouraged. If you must travel... keep an extra flashlight...
food... and water in your vehicle in case of an emergency.
