Lake Effect

Over the last five days, I’ve heard plenty about “the lake effect.” Ask a Lake Michigan resident about the weather forecast and they’ll tell you that they’re expecting 8 – 12 inches or 2 – 3 feet of snow, “but you never can tell. It’s the lake effect, you know.” I used to think that phrase referred to precipitation due to evaporation from the lake, but now I think it just means “be prepared for anything.”
