Lake Geneva (and particularly the lakeside parts of the city of Geneva) can be affected by the cold Bise, a northeasterly wind. This can lead to severe icing in winter. [ 19 ] The strength of the Bise wind can be determined by the difference in air pressure between Geneva and Güttingen in canton of Thurgau .
Remnants of lake-effect snows from Lake Erie have been observed to reach as far south as Garrett County, Maryland, and as far east as Geneva, New York. [21] Because it is not as deep as the other lakes, Erie warms rapidly in the spring and summer, and is frequently the only Great Lake to freeze over in winter. [22]
Lake-effect snow, which can last from a few minutes to several days, develops from narrow bands of clouds that form when cold, dry arctic air passes over a large, relatively mild lake.
One example is South Australia's Blue Lake, where the change in circulation is signaled by a striking change in colour. A further, unusual, example is Deep Lake, in the Vestfold Hills, Antarctica. [3] The surface of this hypersaline lake does not freeze in winter due to the depression of the freezing point by the high salt content.

Towards western Swiss Plateau, the Bise is pressed between the Jura mountains and Pre-Alps whereby it strengthens and mostly climaxes on the western shore of Lake Geneva. In summer, the Bise wind causes rather dry and sunny weather whereas in winter, it frequently forms low stratus clouds over the Swiss Plateau by strengthening the inversion layer.
