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.

∙ 11y agoThe reason for much of the snowfall is the "lake effect" from the three Great Lakes (Huron, Superior, and Michigan). The wind picks up moisture from the open water and carries it typically east and south, where it cools and falls on the land.

∙ 12y agoMost of the snow Michigan gets is lake effect, because of the great lakes, mostly lake Michigan, so it really effects lakeshore cities as they get a lot of lake effect snow during the winter months.

Can snow occur during a tornado?
No. Tornadoes are often accompanied by rain or hail, but if it is cold enough for snow, it is too cold for a tornado.
How can the mass of a pile of snow decrease on a sunny day when the air temperature does not rise above zero degrees celsius?
When the sunlight strikes the snow, the surface of the snow is heated above the air temperature and some melting and evaporation occur.
Why doesn't lightning occur when it is snowing?
It does occur. It is not as common in snowstorms as in a rain storm, because rain is much better at generating static electricity than snow. "Not as common" is not the same as "never". During December 2008 a snow storm in Massachusetts USA produced lightning, with accompanying thunder.
Why does snow not melt when you hold a lighter next to it?
It does, but snow is about 90% air, and effectively acts like a sponge around any liquid water; so, as the snow melts, it is subsumed into the rest of the mass of snow. Carbon deposits from unburnt butane may also lodge on snow, if the lighter is held too close. All of this can occur with normal snow; which does not mean that you may not have some 'chemically nucleated snow,' however.
What happens after a tornado strikes in snow?
It would be highly unusual for a tornado to strike an area where there is snow on the ground. Tornadoes generally occur during periods of warm weather. If such an event were to occur it would be little different from a tornado striking under ordinary circumstances. The tornado would likely lift some snow into the air, but that would be of little to no consequence compared with the damage tornadoes usually inflict.
When do snow storms occur?
Snow storms occur when air masses come together and start interacting with each other. :)

snow
How do snow drifts occur?
You find snow drifts mostly in open areas that has been covered or are being covered by snow. The wind blows the snow and it lands on the ground in rippled mounds quite like waves on the sea. They occur most often in light, fluffy snow, but pack down over time and are quite solid.
Can snow be evaporated as snow?
Yes, when snow evaporates it is called sublimation. Sublimation can occur on days with lots of sun and low humidity. The snow, does NOT melt. The snow evaporates.
