Portions of the snowbelt are located in Ontario, Canada,[3] which includes the eastern shore of Lake Superior from Sault Ste.
Marie northward to Wawa, as well as the eastern and southern shores of Lake Huron and Georgian Bay from Parry Sound to London.
The Niagara Peninsula and the north-eastern shores of Lake Ontario are especially hard-hit by heavy snowfall when south-western winds are predominant.
The southern and southeastern sides of the Great Salt Lake in Utah receive significant lake-effect snow.
To the south of Georgian Bay, ski resorts are found on the Niagara Escarpment at Blue Mountain and on the Oro Moraine.
Sweden's east coast can be affected by similar conditions, particularly in the early winter when there is little ice on the Baltic Sea.
