www.crh.noaa.gov/wxstory.php?site=lotThis map shows only 2-4" for Streator area yet I hear people insist we are getting over a foot of snow cause Peoria weather and the local radio station said so.. Things that make you go hmm. Still waiting for the 12 inches of snow to fall like this person told we are suppose to get cause wspl and the Peoria news says so.lol I only have 0.25" of snowfall that has fallen so far. AS I told this person they were forecasting between 1-4" for this area. Since I have 0.25 so far and the snow is winding down for our area,and the winter weather advisory has expired n/w of our area, we should have between 0.50 -2" of snow total.

I'm going to need that big Alaskan breakfast this morning after I dig out from the blizzard last night.
This snO is going to be here a while, dry powdery type that's good for blOwing.

That snow this morning is lake effect. Unusual to get it here from that far.

it is unusual for it to track this far south but if the winds blow hard enough it can really go farther south. I found this article interesting seaturtle.
Dear Tom,
How far from Lake Michigan does lake-effect snow typically fall? I am under the impression that it falls within 10 miles of the lake.
—Dominic Ricci
Dear Dominic,
Lake-effect snows usually occur within about 50 miles of Lake Michigan's southern shore when frigid air sweeps southeastward across the lake. The heaviest snows usually target areas within about 20 miles of the lake in the snowbelts of north-central Indiana and southwest Lower Michigan. On occasion, though, lake-effect snow can occur at such great distances from the lake that those being snowed on don't realize its source. Satellite photographs confirm that plumes of clouds and flurries, often originating over Lake Superior and strengthening as they pick up additional moisture while passing over Lake Michigan, generate snow as far away as the Appalachian highlands of northern Georgia.
