60- 80 inches per year falls in Saratoga Springs New york.
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.
Yes, everywhere in New York State, including New York City and Long Island, get snow. However, New York City, Long Island, and the rest of southern New York State get much less snow than they do upstate.
Buffalo, New York is famous for its heavy snowfall and harsh winter weather, often experiencing lake-effect snow due to its proximity to the Great Lakes. The city can also have unpredictable weather patterns, including rapid temperature changes and winter storms.
It can travel several hundreds of miles, but it won't drop a lot of snow so far unless it is forced upwards by mountains (southwestern PA gets a lot of snow this way). For example, snow bands off Ontario have been known to travel all the way to the Atlantic, though by that time they rarely do anything more than just whiten the ground.
It gets most of its snow from Lake Erie, called lake-effect snow. When the wind comes from the WSW in the winter and brings cold air, the air picks up moisture from the lakes which rises and condenses into clouds and heavy snow. This snow then falls downwind on cities such as Buffalo on the lake's edge, and especially a little bit inland where higher elevations cause the atmosphere to drop even more of its snow.

Much of their snow is "lake effect snow".
Snow Storm ( Blizzards) Due to what is called the Lake Effect
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.
Yes, if you type in "Crater Lake" on google images, you will find a snow-covered crater lake.

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.
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.
It might. Not so much, rarely..
Just a trace.
