The Great Lakes region was hit with its first widespread lake-effect snow event of the season over the Thanksgiving holiday weekend, with some areas getting between 3 and 5 feet of snow. The snow bands haven’t let up, as they continue to dump snow on the region.
Castorland, located in northern New York, has seen the most snow, with 65.9 inches, about 5 and a half feet.
Meanwhile, Erie, Pa., had one of the least snowy starts to the season on record, with 0.1 inches of snow through Thanksgiving. But on Friday, 22.6 inches of snow fell, making it an all-time calendar-day snow record, according to the Weather Channel.
The photos below show the massive amounts of snow that fell in the region — and people digging their way out.

Former Somerset County 911 director Bradley Lavan has been sentenced to as long as 120 years behind bars for sex crimes he committed against five children.
Late last year, Bradley Lavan pleaded guilty late last year to dozens of charges stemming from a 2023 arrest where police alleged he sexually abused five young children.
Lavan was ordered Thursday to serve 60 to 120 years in state prison, a sentence that Somerset County District Attorney Tom Leiden called “appropriate,” citing the seriousness of the crimes he committed.
“Today, justice was served,” Leiden said, adding that “the sentence should assure that Mr. Lavan is never able to prey on innocent children again.”
At the time of his arrest, then District Attorney Molly Metzgar said that it was alleged that Lavan groomed children in ages from 3 to 6 years old and forced them into performing various sex acts on him while they were in his home.
Police at the time said that Lavan’s time as the 911 director in Somerset County ended before he was arrested and the charges and his work with the county weren’t connected.
“This successful prosecution and sentence are the result of the District Attorney’s Office’s commitment to seeking justice for victims and for protecting the children of Somerset County,” Leiden said. “We will continue to work tirelessly to make Somerset County a safe place to live, work, and raise a family.”
