Snowstorms in Upstate New York: synoptics, spatial modeling and temporal variability
… dissertation examines the characteristics of snowstorms that affect Central New York, a subsection of the eastern Great Lakes region, in a series of chapters organized as journal articles. The first article develops a classification scheme to categorize snowstorms in Central New York from the …

The Role of Upstream Lakes in Determining Downstream Severe Lake -Effect Snowstorms
A severe lake-effect snowstorm on 25--26 December 1993 was successfully modeled using the Penn State/NCAR MM5 model at 7 km grid resolution. Another simulation performed with Lake Michigan removed from the domain resulted in a two-thirds reduction in snowfall maxima, reduced vertical ascent (50% …
