Storm Tracker Charles Peek is driving around Erie, Pennsylvania, with a live look at conditions as lake-effect snow continues to pummel the area. | The Weather Channel

Heavy lake effect snow and gusty winds, including some local blizzard conditions, will continue into Thanksgiving Day across the Great Lakes then lingering through Friday night for Lakes Erie and Ontario. Confidence is increasing for another winter storm to develop over the northern and central Rockies Friday and track across the central Plains through the Midwest and Great Lakes this weekend. weather.gov | U.S. National Weather Service (NWS)

Frosty not frozen! 🧊 That’s the state of Lake Erie right now — absolutely zero ice coverage. (The norm this time of year is 20%.) 🧊 So does that mean the ferries are still running to Put-in-Bay and Kelleys Island? For at least a bit. You can go to Put-in-Bay through Monday and Kelleys perhaps through all of January. 🧊 Check out what the warmer weather means for both islanders and ferry boat operators. https://lakeerieliving.com/articles/2023-best-of-lake-erie/lake-erie-ice-cover-is-zero/ 🧊 B
