I agree with the London / Seattle connection, I find the forecasts very similar, although there are times especially in high summer / winter where there could be high pressure influence here and low pressure influence in Seattle and vice versa which creates a very different picture.
Is there any place that would match the Great Lakes snow belt and get 30 inches in 1 night ?
I wouldn't know, but according to the wiki article on lake effect snow, it says that "Lake-effect or sea-effect snow occurs in other countries, near large lakes or large sea areas. In Eurasia, it occurs in the regions of the Black Sea in Georgia and Turkey, the Caspian sea in Iran, the Adriatic Sea in Italy, the North Sea, as well as the Irish Sea and the Aegean Sea, the Balearic Islands, the Baltic Sea as well as areas surrounding the Sea of Japan."
My guess is that there must be some place around the Baltic sea that regularly experiences lake effect snow similar to the great lakes?

Mountain regions of western Balkan, Alpine region and probably mountain parts of Norway can.
Gorski Kotor and Lika regions in Croatia can get a lot of snow for short period, and they are not on high elevation.
In Delnice (700 m above sea level) in Gorski Kotar in February 2018 depth of snow was 182 cm https://www.euronews.com/2018/02/27/...adriatic-coast
In Mrkopalj (820 m) also in Gorski Kotar record depth of snow is 205 cm recorded on March 2, 2018 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mrkopalj
In Gospić (564 m) in Lika region record depth of snow is 285 cm https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gospić#Climate
In general Delnice and Mrkopalj are snowier than Gospić. But Gospić has higher record depth of snow because measurements in Gospić started earlier.
My grandfather in 1960s lived in Drvar (480 m) in western Bosnia, and he said in 1963 in Drvar fell 60 cm of snow for one night https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drvar
