My dad knew it as a day.

He may not get home from work because it was just too hard, but how does it work?

Well, first of all, you need a lake because it's called lake Effect.

Snow and the lake needs to be unfrozen.

35 40 45 degrees is great, and then the air that blows across it from the north or from the west can be 10 degrees.

All of a sudden, the moisture from the lake mixes in with the cold air from the north, and you get big clouds and you can get big snow when it goes on land and goes uphill.

All of a sudden, you get significantly effects.

No, it could be 2 to 3 inches per hour and depending on where you are if you're just south of it or north of this lake effect man, it can look like a wall of snow is coming down.

And so that's why you could be anywhere from a 2 to 3 inch snowfall in one county and just a few miles south.
