Winter snowsquall sudden arrival down Cayuga Lake field

Lake effect snow squalls occur only near a large body of water. Lake effect snow occurs when cold air, often originating from Canada, moves across the warmer waters of the Great Lakes and FingerLakes. A snow squall is an intense, but limited duration, period of moderate to heavy snowfall, accompanied by strong, gusty surface winds. A snow squall generally lasts less than 30 minutes.
