Lake effect
Significado: The weather phenomenon where cold air picks up moisture from the Great Lakes and dumps heavy snow on nearby areas.
Lake effect snow is a defining feature of life near the Great Lakes. Cities like Buffalo, Cleveland, and parts of Michigan can get buried under feet of snow while areas just miles inland get nothing.
