Great Lakes and Lake Effect Snow
To demonstrate the difference between the seasons in the Great Lakes region, this animation fades between two different SeaWiFS images taken in 1999. One image is taken in the spring, April, and the second image is taken in the winter, December. The December 1999 image shows a traditional lake effect snow storm.
