What is Lake Effect Snow?
Lake Effect Snow, also called snowsqualls, results from cold, arctic air traveling over a relatively warm body of water. The cold, dry air picks up the lake moisture and deposits it, in the form of snow, over land. In Cleveland, the wind generally blows from the west across Lake Erie and dumps the Lake Effect snow in the city's eastern suburbs.
