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.
Lake Effect Snow affects much of Michigan, extreme northern Wisconsin/the Duluth area of MN, southeastern WI and the Chicago area on occasion, northern Indiana, northeastern Ohio, western/northwestern PA, and much of upstate NY especially downwind of each lake.
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.
Down wind of the lake.
it is from the lake effect
Lake effect is harmless unless you're trying to drive in it. It's just snow.
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.

We don't know your location, so we cannot answer this.
Much of their snow is "lake effect snow".
