❄️ 👀 Lake-effect snow moved eastward off the Great Lakes across the Northern United States on Thursday, January 2, bringing snowfall to New York, Pennsylvania, and other states.

A fast moving storm is bringing snow to parts of the Eastern U.S. today. When this #snow melts it will look something like this @NASA visualization based on the first 3D numerical model of melting snowflakes in the atmosphere, which could help scientists better predict snow!
