CONSTABLEVILLE, N.Y. ? A blast of cold wind spread snow along the Great Lakes from Michigan to New York on Monday, dumping 2 feet on this central New York town.

Moisture from the lakes produced lake-effect snow on the eastern and southern shores of the lakes.

The deepest was in this snow-prone section of New York, where the National Weather Service said 24 inches had fallen at Constableville, at the east end of Lake Ontario on the Tug Hill Plateau. In western New York, moisture from Lake Erie had turned into 23 inches of snow by midmorning at Ellicottville, south of Buffalo.

In northwest Pennsylvania, Erie reported as much as 14 inches of snow Monday morning and several schools districts in the region closed or delayed classes. And more than a foot had fallen Monday in parts of Michigan’s Upper Peninsula, including 19 inches near Trenary, the weather service said.

Police reported numerous accidents on slippery roads in Pennsylvania, Ohio and New York. A section of northbound U.S. 131 in Michigan’s Allegan County had to be shut down because two tractor-trailer rigs slid off the pavement and overturned.

Up to a foot of snow was forecast by today in northern Indiana, with 10 inches possible in Ohio’s Cleveland area, the weather service said.
