Lake-Effect Snow is a mesoscale meteorological phenomenon characterized by localized, intense snowfall downwind of large lakes, resulting from the destabilization of cold, dry air masses moving over relatively warmer lake surfaces, which enhances convective heat and moisture fluxes into the lower atmosphere.
