One February evening, your TV weathercaster says that lake effect snow bands are
developing in Southeastern Wisconsin and may move down into Lake County, Illinois.
However, some other news story cut the weathercaster off before she could show the
snow bands on radar. But you really want to see a radar image! No problem, you can
view radar imagery on the internet. Your best choice for viewing lake effect snow
bands in southeastern Wisconsin would be:
