The descriptions of two new planktonic rotifers, both cold stenotherms, is presented. Notholca laurentiae n.sp. is a predominant winter rotifer of the Laurentian Great Lakes, but to date has not been found in inland lakes of the region. Morphologically its closest relative is the European brackish water species, N. salina Focke.Notholca michiganensis n.sp. has been recorded only in the oligotrophic inland lakes of the northern portion of Michigan’s lower peninsula during winter and early spring (water temperatures 0.5–5.2 C). Morphologically, N. michiganensis is similar to, but distinctly smaller than N. frigida Jaschnov.

Abstract Premodification of the atmosphere by upwind lakes is known to influence lake-effect snowstorm intensity and locations over downwind lakes. This study highlights perhaps the most visible manifestation of the link between convection over two or more of the Great Lakes lake-to-lake (L2L) cloud bands. Emphasis is placed on L2L cloud bands observed in high-resolution satellite imagery on 2 December 2003. These L2L cloud bands developed over Lake Superior and were modified as they passed over Lakes Michigan and Erie and intervening land areas. This event is put into a longer-term context through documentation of the frequency with which lake-effect and, particularly, L2L cloud bands occurred over a 5-yr time period over different areas of the Great Lakes region.
