Figure 1. True-color MODIS satellite image of Tuesday's lake effect snowstorms taken at 3:20 pm EST January 22, 2013. The most concentrated band of snow was affecting the east shore of Lake Ontario (far right of image) near Oswego, New York. Up to 32" of snow fell in 24 hours in this band.
Note the thin streaks of snow to the southwest of Lake Michigan in north central Illinois.
According the the National Weather Service in Chicago (https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=474309852626054&set=a.170461579677551.41001.164132806977095&type=1&theater), these bands of snow were lake-effect induced, but not from Lake Michigan--the snow was due to
cold air flowing over warm waters in [NUCLEAR] power plant cooling ponds.

Kids, don't eat the yellow snow...
