Yes, Lake George NY can experience lake effect snow due to its proximity to Lake George. When cold air masses move over the relatively warmer lake waters, it can result in increased moisture and snowfall in the region.
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.
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.
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 more likely to occur in New York because of the Great Lakes, which provide a source of moisture for the snow to form. Oklahoma, being farther from large bodies of water, does not experience lake-effect snow to the same extent.

No, lake effect snow is typically seen in regions near the Great Lakes where cold air passes over the warmer lake waters, picking up moisture and creating heavy snowfall. Tennessee's climate and geographical location do not experience the conditions necessary for lake effect snow to occur.
Down wind of the lake.
Much of their snow is "lake effect snow".
No.
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.
