In Michigan, lake effect snow most often tends to fall in western Upper Peninsula, along the north shore of the UP, and in the Lower Peninsula from the tip of the mitten to Indiana along Lake Michigan. If winds come from the east, Lake Huron can provide the moisture and the eastern portions of Michigan area affected, rather than the west side.

The Great Lakes region saw new snow Monday and faced the prospect of even more this week after U.S. travelers battled harsh weather to get home after Thanksgiving, forecasters said.
