Cleanup efforts are in full swing in parts of the Great Lakes region following intense lake-effect snowstorms that brought over a foot of snow over the weekend. While the worst of the storms is subsiding, forecasters are cautioning residents to brace for another storm system that could bring additional snow later this week.
Many school districts in western Pennsylvania remained closed on Tuesday as the region grappled with the aftermath of several days of heavy snowfall. The impact of the lake-effect snow was felt across western New York, Ohio, and Michigan, with some areas receiving more than a foot of snow over the past five days. East of Lake Ontario, over 5 feet of snow had accumulated by Monday, as reported by the National Weather Service.
