If the air temperature is low enough to keep the precipitation frozen, it falls as lake-effect snow. If not, then it falls as lake-effect rain. For lake-effect rain or snow to form, the air moving across the lake must be significantly cooler than the surface air (which is likely to be near the temperature of the water surface).
"Lake-effect snow can be extremely dangerous due to the intensity of snow it can produces, where upwards of 6 inches an hour can happen, but also due to the sudden changes in conditions a shifting ...
How lake-effect snow forms. Lake-effect snow, which can last for only a few minutes to several days, develops from narrow bands of clouds that form when cold, dry arctic air passes over a large ...
Heavy snow is a fact of life near Great Lakes. Lake-effect snow goes hand-in-hand with living near a Great Lake. In many cases, a foot or two (30 to 61 centimeters) of snow will fall, but occasionally it can get out of hand. In November 2022, lake-effect storms dumped more than 6 feet (1.8 meters) of snow in western New York. Those wintry ...

The NWS has issued a lake-effect snow warning for seven Northeast Ohio counties--Cuyahoga, Geauga, Lake, Portage, Summit and Trumbull--from 4 p.m. Wednesday to 4 a.m. Friday as a strong arctic ...
