Description:

Cold air waterspouts over Lake Erie are sometimes elusive to forecast. (For this report waterspouts will be used to mean cold air funnels or cold air waterspouts.) Even though waterspouts are not as dangerous as tornadoes, they still contain sufficient punch to be a danger to boaters. There were two problems in defining this study; (a) not all waterspouts are likely to be reported, and (b) virga or scud might be reported as a waterspout by an untrained observer.
