lake kivu in rwanda is one of east africa's great lakes.hopes of generating a lot of revenue for the country, but something even more valuable is hidden deep within this lake. we're going 14km offshore to see the kiquatt project. it's where they're extracting methane gas from below the surface of the lake. it's the only project like it in the world. this barge took seven years to construct and lies on the lake's border with the democratic republic of the congo. the engineers here work 2a hours a day in 12—hour shifts, monitoring the conditions of the lake. kivu is highly saturated with gases, including methane and carbon dioxide from millions of years of decomposition and volcanic activity. these gases are kept under pressure at significant depths. the lake is 480m deep. however, any disturbance to the lake from seismic activity or a lava flow could result in the gases leaking out. kivu is one of only three known lakes in the world where the specific conditions for this catastrophic event could occur. they are known as the killer lakes. in1

up to 2 feet of snow possibly downwind from lake erie into lake ontario. watertown, into buffalo, new york, and the reason for this is because our ice coverage across the great lakes is just abysmal this year to say the least. in fact, the average to date is about 42%. right now we only have 9% of the great lakes covered in ice. so when we have ice on the great lakes, it totally shuts down the lake effect snow machine. without the ice and we get that cold blast of air from the north, we set up and crank up the lake effect snow machine. that's why we're so concerned about these areas just downwind of the great lakes that could see snow measuring not in inches, but in feet. again, along the east coast cities no problems for your travel plans with the exception of some heavy rain and the wind that will move in behind the system and some colder weather. if you're looking for snowfall, check this out, toronto and points to the north and east, we have potential to experience a foot and a half of snow for you. not quite the 2 to 3-foot totals we could see downwin
