Yes, the Lake George NY does get the lake effect snow. The areas of Lake George NY that gets the effect of snow is usually remain frozen.
An Arctic air mass moving over relatively warm lake water can cause lake effect snow. As the cold air near the surface picks up moisture from the warmer lake, it becomes unstable and produces localized bands of heavy snow downwind of the lake.
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.
It is very unlikely for lake effect snow to reach North Carolina. Lake effect snow is typically associated with the Great Lakes region of the United States, where cold air passing over the relatively warm waters of the lakes picks up moisture and creates heavy snowfall. North Carolina's climate and geography make it rare for lake effect snow to reach that far south.
Lake-effect snow is associated with a cold, dry air mass moving over a warmer body of water, such as the Great Lakes. As the air mass picks up moisture from the lake, it becomes unstable and can produce heavy snowfall downwind of the 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.
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.

No.

We don't know your location, so we cannot answer this.

Much of their snow is "lake effect snow".
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, usually quite a bit if there is Lake Effect from the Great Salt Lake.
