Nothing to do with climate change!! 
Re: USA Weather
You're right. Lake effect snow has been around since Noah was a little boy. Air coming off the warm(er) lakes and hitting colder air over land, and the snow machine gets turned on. It can be the opposite as well later in the winter with colder air off the lakes hitting warmer air over land, but that isn't the case too frequently.
Another hot spot is northern Indiana southeast of Chicago where Lake Michigan is the cause.

Re: USA Weather
Buffalo has always been a big snow area, I remember getting stuck at a train station for 6 hours once outside of Buffalo. The waystation we were stuck at was too small and some of us were directed to maintenance sheds.
They were predicting up to 6 feet of snow with this storm.

Re: Weather in America
Ludicrous temperatures, but I've experienced them before (well, -50). These conditions have been seen previously (maybe decades ago), so yes - "climate change" over the past 50, 60, 70 years? "Global Warming", "Cows Farting"etc. - come on.Dannie Boy wrote: ↑Fri Dec 23, 2022 6:58 am The US and Canada is facing one of its worst winter storms in decades

We're all seeing strange weather patterns - here in the UK we saw -14 degrees last week with freezing, now we're looking at +13 degrees and flooding!

Flights cancelled, traffic chaos leaves at least four dead in Canada and United States
https://www.abc.net.au/news/2022-12-24/ ... /101807192
More than 240 million people have been put under an extreme weather alert as a deep freeze thwarted travel plans, knocked out power and caused at least four deaths across North America.
Hard-freeze warnings were posted in parts of the southern US states of Louisiana, Alabama, Florida and Georgia.
In Kentucky, two people were killed in car accidents and a homeless person died, Governor Andy Beshear announced.
"Please stay home and stay safe," he said on Twitter.
About 1.5 million US homes and businesses were without power on Friday, according to tracking site Poweroutage.us.
bout 187,000 customers were without power in North Carolina alone, where strong winds have hampered restoration efforts.
A 50-vehicle traffic pile-up on the Ohio Turnpike in the midst of a blizzard near Toledo killed one motorist, injured several others and shut down both lanes of the highway, according to the Toledo Fire and Rescue Department.

Evacuations ordered in California as massive storm slams into coast
https://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-64169954 (Photos-Video)
Evacuation orders and advisories are in place in parts of northern California as a major storm slams into the coast.
Regions that have been hit by wildfires in the past were among the first places to be told to evacuate due to concerns about flooding and landslides.
California's governor has declared a state of emergency for the storm - the second to drench the state in a week.
Forecasters say it will form into a bomb cyclone, a type of explosive storm, and will probably kill people.
Northern California, which saw a deadly levee breach over the weekend, is expected to be hardest-hit.
The National Weather Service (NWS) has issued a flood watch and high wind warning for the entire Bay Area in northern California, saying that wind gusts were expected to down trees and cause power outages.
It warned that the North Fork Dam was compromised and water would overtop its spillway by Thursday morning. The NWS urged anyone in low-lying areas beneath the dam to "move to higher ground immediately"
"To put it simply, this will likely be one of the most impactful systems on a widespread scale that this meteorologist has seen in a long while," the NWS forecaster for the region said in a weather advisory.
"The impacts will include widespread flooding, roads washing out, hillsides collapsing, trees down (potentially full groves), widespread power outages, immediate disruption to commerce, and the worst of all, likely loss of human life," he added.
"This is truly a brutal system that we are looking at and needs to be taken seriously."
It is expected to form into a bomb cyclone, a type of rapidly intensifying storm that is more commonly seen along the east coast of the US and Canada.
An evacuation order has been issued in Santa Cruz County, south of San Francisco, because of the "high probability" that some neighbourhoods will become inaccessible due to flooding.
Further south, in Santa Barbara County, officials also ordered residents living near burn scars from previous forest fires to leave the area. The order affects the affluent community of Montecito, home of the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, Harry and Meghan, and Oprah Winfrey.
Classes have been cancelled for Thursday in school districts throughout northern California, including for the 8,000 pupils enrolled in San Francisco public schools.
In a statement declaring a state of emergency on Wednesday, Governor Gavin Newsom said his order would "allow the state to respond quickly as the storm develops and support local officials in their ongoing response".
An atmospheric river - a long narrow stream of warm air bringing moisture from the tropics - is expected to fall on ground that has already been saturated by rainfall.
It is expected to hit hardest overnight on Wednesday into Thursday morning before extending into southern California on Thursday night.
Just a year after California recorded one if its driest years on record, San Francisco on Saturday saw its second-wettest day in over 170 years.
San Francisco Mayor London Breed said the city was "preparing for a war" and issuing sandbags across the city to prevent flooding.
More heavy rain threatens California
Rivers along the coast are forecast to see widespread flooding due to tidal surges. The storm is expected to dump up to 6in (15cm) of rain in coastal areas, and gust up to 80mph (128km/h) in the coastal hills and mountains.
More than 105 million people across the US are currently at risk of severe weather, according to the NWS.
Further east, some 30 million people are facing large storms that have already produced tornadoes in several states.
