As the sun rises this morning, @NOAA's #GOESEast 🛰️ can see cloud streets streaming from the Great Lakes, which are bringing heavy lake effect snow to some downwind locations. #WinterStorm Warnings and #LakeEffect Snow Warnings are in effect for parts MI, OH, PA and NY today.

Yesterday, @NOAA's #GOESEast satellite detected several lightning strikes within #LakeEffect snow bands in Upstate New York. Although thunderstorms are less common in the winter, sometimes lightning can occur within snowstorms—a phenomenon called thundersnow.

Visible imagery from @NOAA's #GOESEast 🛰️ reveals beautiful cloud streets, which appear as parallel bands, streaming from some of the Great Lakes today. These clouds are bringing some #LakeEffect snow downwind of the lakes.

A view from @NOAA's #GOESEast 🛰️ today shows a large swath of snow on the ground from Mississippi to New York as well as bands of #CloudStreets streaming off the Great Lakes. Several more feet of #LakeEffect snow could fall in locations downwind of Lakes Erie and Ontario.

This 6-day #VIIRS recap of the #GreatLakes captures the arctic blast generating #lakeeffect clouds and snow across the region. Note the rope-like feature in the middle of #LakeMichigan on the 19th signifying a cool convective band of mesoscale vortices. cimss.ssec.wisc.edu/satellit…

This #TimelapseTuesday, we're looking back to this past Friday, where @NOAA's #GOESEast 🛰️ captured a very cool phenomenon over Lake Michigan—more than a dozen cloud eddies (AKA: mesovortices) in a serpentine pattern that also dumped a lot of snow due to the #LakeEffect.

Check out the roughly four-hour enhanced color loop below!

Yesterday, @NOAA's #GOESEast (GOES-16) 🛰️ captured imagery of thick clouds streaming off the Great Lakes, bringing heavy #LakeEffect snow to the region. Farther east, we can see wave clouds rippling over the rugged terrain of the Appalachian mountains. https://t.co/aeWxXkqHVr

As the sun moves over the Great Lakes today, @NOAA's #GOESEast (GOES-16) 🛰️ sees a lot of white!
While there is snow on the ground, there are also some textbook #LakeEffect clouds streaming off the lakes. Lake Effect Snow Warnings and Winter Weather Advisories are in effect from MI to VT.

As the sun rises over the Northeast this morning, @NOAA's #GOESEast 🛰️ can see the rippling wave clouds over the region, which can form when air blows over hills and mountains. It is also monitoring #LakeEffect snow streaming off Lake Ontario, where Lake Effect Snow Warnings are in effect for parts of New York.

.@NOAA's #GOESEast (#GOES19) 🛰️ is tracking bands of #LakeEffect snow fueled by chilly air blowing across the Great Lakes this morning.
Locally heavy snow has prompted #SnowSquall warnings and #WinterWeather Advisories for some locations east of the lakes. 🌨️

An #AlbertaClipper is bringing an #ArcticBlast to the eastern U.S. today, along with #LakeEffect #snow to parts of OH, PA and NY. In this imagery from @NOAA's #GOESEast (#GOES19), you can see the counterclockwise spin of the clipper as it passes over the Great Lakes.
