If you thought the post-Thanksgiving travel chaos was bad, Mother Nature is here to say, "Hold my hot cocoa."

About 5 million Americans are under winter weather alerts as lake-effect snow continues to pummel the Great Lakes region. Translation: Buffalo just turned into a snow globe, and it’s not the charming kind you want on your shelf.

The National Weather Service predicts up to 20 inches of fresh snow for parts of New York, adding to the nearly 5 feet already dumped over the weekend.

Meanwhile, fans at Sunday’s Bills game turned the stadium into a community snow-shoveling event, because who doesn’t love a little cardio before football?

With more snow on the way and temperatures dropping, the Great Lakes are proving once again that they don’t just do winter - they overachieve at it.
