Residents across the Great Lakes and interior Northeast hoping to get a jump start on spring cleaning this weekend will need to adjust their plans accordingly as a surge of Arctic air will get the gears of the lake-effect snow machine cranking once again.
The Great Lakes have already produced some major snow events going back to the fall and early winter, including two historic lake-effect snowstorms that impacted the Buffalo, New York, area in November and December. While the incoming snow this weekend will not come close to the ferocity of the early-winter snowstorms, it will likely produce snow squalls that can prove to be just as dangerous for anyone who is caught outdoors when one develops.
