  Snowbelt - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A snowbelt is a region, many of which lie downwind of the Great Lakes, where heavy snowfall is particularly common.
Near the Great Lakes, a particular form of snowbelt is lake-effect snow, caused by cold air picking up moisture while crossing the lake and then releasing it as snow when the air cools over land.
The Great Lakes produce lake-effect snow and continuous cloudy skies throughout the winter months, as long as air temperatures are colder than the lake water temperatures.

 Weather Elements: Lake-Effect Snow Climatology in the Great Lakes Region
Seven unique snowbelts are associated with the five Great Lakes: 1) the Southeastern Lake Superior Snowbelt extending almost 500 km (300 miles) along the northern shores of Upper Michigan; 2) the Eastern Lake Superior Snowbelt located in Ontario north of Ste.
In Michigan, snowbelts are nearly continuous along the state's shores of Lakes Michigan and Superior.
Lake-effect snowfalls in this snowbelt are generally quite local, averaging 30 km (20 miles) across and from 16 to 112 km (10 to 70 miles) in depth, but can accumulate snows at amazing rates.

In northeast (NE) Ohio the primary snowbelt runs through the extreme NE corner of the state in Lake, Geauga, Ashtabula and the eastern part of Cuyahoga counties.
A secondary snowbelt is composed of communities south of downtown Cleveland, where high elevation and the right wind direction can bring about heavy LES in Summit, Medina, Portage, and Trumbull counties.

 Dynamic/Synoptic Analysis - Background of LES: November 9-14, 1996 in the Great Lakes
Some 35 miles due east of CLE NWSFO, Chardon - known as the snow capital of northeast Ohio receives over 100" annually - the majority as a result of LES.
The snowbelts are so named because of their proximity to the lake, their higher elevation relative to the lake surface, and their orientation to the lake with respect to common wind directions observed during cold air outbreaks.
LES occurs most frequently in late fall and early winter when polar or arctic air flows over the relatively warm waters of the lake.

The areas affected by lake effect snow are called snowbelts.
If the air temperature is not low enough to keep the precipitation frozen, it falls as lake effect rain.
