Increased quantity of snowfall due to proximity of a 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.
Buffalo is famous for its heavy snowfall, particularly due to the phenomenon known as "lake-effect snow" from nearby Lake Erie. This leads to frequent snowstorms and cold temperatures during the winter months.
Snow Storm ( Blizzards) Due to what is called the Lake Effect
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.
Down wind of the lake.
There are two main types of blizzards: ground blizzards and snow blizzards. Ground blizzards occur when existing snow is lifted from the ground and blown by strong winds, causing reduced visibility. Snow blizzards happen when falling or blowing snow combines with strong winds to create hazardous conditions.
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.
