LAKE
EFFECT STORM "FELIX"
DECEMBER
12, 2005
Lake Flake
scale: * 1 Flake
Maximum Snowfall: Lk.
Erie: 4" (Perrysburg). Lk. Ontario: 9" (Scriba).
Duration: 8 Hours +/-
Prime Feature: Evolved
from a synoptic feature.
Lake Flake Scale: * 1 Flake
After
a break of a few days, another low affected the region on 11th with a
general light snow of an inch or two. As its trailing front approached and
passed, upslope snow of a few inches was the rule over the western Tug Hill and
ridges southeast of
Lake
Erie
.
Eventually, cold air deepened enough to result in "pure" lake effect,
but only for several hours. Snowfall for the entire event ranged upwards of a
foot, but some of this was synoptic and frontal. There was enough
"lake" snow (6"+) in a few spots to earn this a name, but just
barely. Ridging shut down the activity by later Monday (12th)
afternoon.
This
was a brief and marginal event with little or no impact. It barely earns *
1 Star
*.
