1 When its a temperature event that involves 'cold' it's just weather. When its a temperature event that involves 'warm' its proof of ~~the scam~~ global warming. /sarc off.

2 I'm still getting lake effect snow from Lake Erie, so it isn't completely frozen over.

3 even when frozen Lake Erie contributes to lake enhanced snowfall

this is because the low friction flow over the lake is slowed (in the horizontal) and made turbulent when it hits the land terrain; both the slowing and the increase in turbulence cause lifting

its true however that the air mass no longer gains significant moisture over a frozen lake

4 My mother reports from the northeast side of Buffalo that there is a very light fall of tiny snowflakes at this moment. Pretty, but doesn't build up on the ground. We make no claim to a connection with Lake Erie freezing, though.
