Feel free to put this on the farthest back burner if you want...I'm in no hurry for a response.
My knowledge of LES is not very stout, so, I apologize if this is a straightforward answer. But, I was curious if the LES guns work in reverse. Historically, quite a few low pressure systems track from CO area to the midwest drawing gulf moisture. When these lows are in such a place that they create east/southeasterly/south winds across the big lake, which 'guns' have the biggest, if any, effect.
Is it the gulf moisture that takes over and shuts the LES down in this case? Or, is there a compounding effect of both gulf moisture and LES? Of course, this assumes the air coming from that direction is cold enough, but can the 'guns' be turned. I know when the guns are aimed at the Keweenaw, we're typically very chilly in northern minnesota. But, if the 'gulf' gun combined with the LES 'gun' that could be pretty serious.
It looked pretty snowy from Isle Royale and north; maybe it'll snow so much over there that the island will look like an iceberg from shore on the Keweenaw...
