The difference between lake effect snow and a snowstorm is that the lake effect snowstorms are not low-pressure system storms and can last up to 48 hours depositing snow in a lake while a snowstorm is a low-pressure system storm and last a few hours up to 3 days.

Primary Snow Belt areas where the snow results when very cold winds from the west, northwest or north blow across the unfrozen lake. The counties of Lake, Geauga, Cuyahoga, and Ashtabula fall within the primary Snow Belt. The secondary Snow belts are areas in the Northern Ohio where snow forms mainly when winds are directly from the north. Some of the areas within this belt include. Lorain, Medina, Summit, Portage, and Trumball.
