Cool! I grew up in Grand Rapids, MI - lake effect snow from Lake Michigan usually ran out of gas by the time it got to us, but sometimes we'd get slammed with it. Not like the UP, though. Up on the Keweenaw Peninsula they have snow sticks as tall as telephone poles.

The reason I asked is because weather patterns usually go from southwest to northeast in the US. But I guess Lake Erie does sit at an angle, so it makes sense that Cleveland would get it.

Yep it does. I've lived in both Northern and Southern Ohio. Southern the weather was more similar to here in Pgh in terms of snowfall. Northern, winters were very snowy, and I would not recommend visiting Cleveland in the winter unless you know what you're getting into.
