@tadpole08 Hello, I think you are referring to out other app Windy Maps. There is no weather information in Windy Maps, app is dedicated for route planning and navigation.

Snow precipitation can be viewed in Windy.com app.

Grazie Paolo, great article!
Lake effect snow is also common across the Great Lakes region (USA)
when cold air from Canada, moves across the open waters of the Great Lakes.

Wind direction is a key component in determining which areas will receive lake effect snow. Heavy snow may be falling in one location, while the sun may be shining just a mile or two away in either direction. The physical geography of the land and water is also important.
