I experienced a freak lake event in Toledo in the early 90's. Weirdist thing I've ever experienced and remember looking at the radar in disbelief. Don't remember the set up but it's the only time i've experienced it in my life time.
I remember this storm. Arctic air raced across michigan during the storm and caused a rapic change over from heavy rain to crazy wind and snow. I stayed up all night for the transition and it was epic. Even had Lightning and thunder here in toledo.
