Winter weather blast to bring more snow to Northern states making travel hazardous

A new Arctic blast is set to dump more snow onto the Great Lakes and the Northeast, as winter weather caused transport chaos and left thousands stranded.

A new Arctic blast is set to dump more snow onto the Great Lakes and the Northeast, as winter weather caused transport chaos and left thousands stranded.

Lake-effect snow is still affecting areas downwind of Lake Erie after several punishing days of winter weather and is expected to last through Wednesday.

And the weather will continue with gusto this week: A strong clipper storm — a system that forms in Canada and moves across the Great Lakes into the United States — is set to move in from Quebec on Thursday, bringing heavy snow to Michigan, the National Weather Service said.

Some 5 million people are under winter weather and lake-effect snow warnings across the Great Lakes for Tuesday — including South Bend, Indiana; Muskegon, Michigan; Cleveland; Erie, Pennsylvania, and Syracuse, New York.

By Wednesday, the clipper weather system should bring snow to the interior Northeast and New England, while intensifying snowfall in areas downwind of the Great Lakes. NBC meteorologist Michelle Grossman said early Tuesday that some areas could get 12 inches of snow.
