Yes, but only very light amounts. It is primarily snow that is generated from topographical differences as a result of friction once it comes onshore.

Yes! Michigan has a great deal of snow during the winter. Lake effect snow regularly pounds the west coast of the state. The Upper Peninsula is often snow bound. The south eastern corner of the state often misses the largest storms, but still gets its fair share. Yup there is snow there all the time. They even have a few successful ski resorts! The person above me was right about the lake effect. There is just more snow coming off the lakes.
Lake effect snow is driven by the instability caused by cold air flowing over a much warmer body of water. In the summer, the air moving over the lakes is generally considerably warmer, which doesn't generate that instability. In the fall, these same places do start to get lake effect rain as the colder air flows over the still-warm lakes, but the air is not quite cold enough to produce snow down to the surface.

Increased quantity of snowfall due to proximity of a lake.
Lake effect snow: water from Lake Erie picks up water and holds that moisture, releasing it in the form of snow downwind of the lake.
