could use a map like the other belt pages

-Shouldn't "Snow Belt" be two words as well? Pumpkingrrl 15:51, 27 March 2006 (UTC) reply

Is this and Frost Belt the same thing? -- 75.72.161.204 01:17, 2 December 2006 (UTC) reply

"Deep North"??

I removed the unsupported allusion to "Deep North" as I could not find a single use of that expression as used in this article. The person who added it to the article has added other questionable alternate names and nicknames without citation from reliable sources. 147.70.242.40 17:35, 29 March 2007 (UTC) reply

Map

The current map shows only the OH, PA, and NY sections of the Snowbelt. The article includes several other areas in IN, MI, WI and Canada that receive lake effect snow. The map should include those areas as well. BobDively 18:17, 29 March 2007 (UTC) reply

Overhaul Needed!

This article is poorly written, sourced and has a lack of matching graphics's/visuals. It needs a major overhaul and some proper structuring using headings and sub-heads. I will do my best to bring it up to par with other articles of a similar nature. For one, Canada is largely forgotten in the article even though it has a significant number of snow belts. Secondly, this article should be strongly tied into lake effect snow since that is the major driving force for these snow belt regions. Third, there is virtually no systematic order within the article dealing with lakes or regions. Also highly localized ideas such as that of ski country are used.

A snowbelt vs. The Snowbelt

This page probably ought to be two separate pages: a) snowbelt, an area that receives significant lake-effect-type snow and which could include areas in Japan, Russia, Europe, etc.; and b) The Snowbelt - the region that Americans and Canadians associate with the areas downwind of the Great Lakes.

This article is only about the region in North America, while lake-effect snow is the general article about the weather phenomenon in all world regions. (Heroeswithmetaphors) talk 03:23, 9 February 2019 (UTC) reply

Trans Women of Color

This page does not show how the climate extremes in the snowbelt disproportionately affect Trans Women of Color. Please fix. 12.160.25.154 ( talk) 12:09, 21 July 2016 (UTC) reply

Possible Name Change

In order to address the current marker on the page on how US-centric this article is, I suggest adding a (North America) or (Great Lakes) to the name, so that the new name of the article would be Snowbelt (North America) or Snowbelt (Great Lakes). — Preceding unsigned comment added by Panian513 ( talkcontribs) 15:41, 7 November 2018 (UTC) reply

The Frost Belt needs its own article, not re-direct

The Frost Belt is conceptually parallel to and contrasting with the Sun Belt. The Snow Belt and the Frost Belt are not equivalent. Barefoot through the chollas ( talk) 19:11, 9 January 2023 (UTC) reply
