Is Your Heating System Keeping You Warm and Toasty?

Can you believe that the Weather Channel was reporting that the Glendale 85306 sensors were reading thirty-eight degrees Fahrenheit this morning (November 18th 2014) at 6:00 AM?

If you think that was bad we can report that I-90 near Buffalo NY was closed when more than three feet of snow accumulated.

Does the City of Phoenix even own a snowplow? Salt-trucks? Snow-blowers? Not likely.

The Valley of the Sun – where you never have to shovel sunshine.

You are unlikely to throw your back out by shoveling Sunshine.

But it’s a dry cold!

Did You Know?

Lake-effect snow is produced during cooler atmospheric conditions when cold winds move across long expanses of warmer lake water, providing energy and picking up water vapor, which freezes and is deposited on the leeward shores. The same effect also occurs over bodies of salt water, when it is termed ocean-effect or bay-effect snow. The effect is enhanced when the moving air mass is uplifted by the orographic influence of higher elevations on the downwind shores. This uplifting can produce narrow but very intense bands of precipitation, which deposit at a rate of many inches of snow each hour, often resulting in copious snowfall totals.

The areas affected by lake-effect snow are called snowbelts. This effect occurs in many locations throughout the world but is best known in the populated areas of the Great Lakes of North America, and especially Central New York, Western New York, Northwestern Pennsylvania, Northeastern Ohio, southwestern Ontario and central Ontario, Northeastern Illinois (along the shoreline of Lake Michigan), northwestern and north central Indiana (mostly between Gary, IN and Elkhart, IN), and western Michigan. Tug Hill in New York's North Country region has the most snow amounts of any non-mountainous location within the continental U.S., followed by the Upper Peninsula of Michigan, which can average over 200 inches of snow per year.

A lake-effect blizzard is the blizzard-like conditions resulting from lake-effect snow. Under certain conditions, strong winds can accompany lake-effect snows creating blizzard-like conditions; however the duration of the event is often slightly less than that required for a blizzard warning in both the US and Canada.
