Why does a covering of ice on Lake Erie cause the amount of snow in snowstorms to be reduced?
Weather patterns during winter most consistently come as a front out of Canada, making a large curve as it flows down and over The Great Lakes. Indiana and Ohio also get weather fronts from midwest States moving west in nearly a straight line.
The Canadian front, in particular, is responsible for ice and "lake effect snow". When winds cross Lake Erie, it picks up water droplets from the lake. Cities closet to the Lake get the most snow and ice on the ground during snowstorms. The City of Erie in Pennsylvania has gotten 6-foot snow drifts from blowing, driving snow.
In addition, ice and snow ON the Lakes affect snow fall on the land, as does lake water temperatures. When ice covers part of the water, there is less exposed water for the wind to pick up water droplets to freeze into snow as it is carried to land. So there is less intense snowstorms with lighter snowfall and less ice storms.
