Lake-effect snow is a type of precipitation that occurs when relatively warm lake or sea surfaces destabilize cold polar air masses as they pass over them, leading to the acquisition of heat and moisture. During this process, the cold air mass warms and gains moisture from below as it moves over the water, creating atmospheric instability. As a result, cumulus-type clouds form and produce snowfall. This type of precipitation typically affects narrow areas and can lead to rapid accumulation of he
