Great Lakes Snowstorm is probably the most followed and interesting North American climatic phenomenon of Italian enthusiast forecasters.
In Italy a similar phenomenon, but obviously much more limited and rare, is the "adriatic snow effect" that occurs when very cold Russian-Balkan air reaches the Adriatic Sea. On these occasions it can happen that (thanks to the reliefs of the Apennines located west of the Adriatic coast) large quantities of snow can fall right on the coasts of those areas. On the contrary, in these situations we Sicilian loser enthusiastic forecasters experience another phenomenon but of a psychological nature, the "envy snow effect"

This isn't like a normal system that moves along, these just sit over these areas hour after hour. They may move a little north or south but that's about it.
