Question

Refer to Figure 8.15 . Notice the narrow, north–south oriented
zone of relatively heavy snowfall east of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania,
and Charleston, South Carolina. This region is too far from the
Great Lakes to receive lake-effect snows. Speculate on a likely
reason for the higher snowfalls here. Does your explanation
explain the shape of this snowy zone?
