Living here along the Eastern shore of Lake Michigan provides for some interesting nature effects on our weather. The biggest is the slower change in temperature of that giant body of water- it stays warm in the early winter, allowing cold air blowing over the water to pick up extra moisture and dump it on us in the form of lake effect snow.
As mentioned. we have had a couple of the hundred-car pileups near us due to zero visibility. When the giant lake-effect snowflakes are coming down at five to ten inches per hour, you cannot see fifty feet in front of you. Unfortunately, a few drivers not slowing down leads to chain reaction crashes that can go on for several minutes, and usually take a couple of lives. Way too much rushing around these days.
Then, we stay cool in the spring because of the giant body of cold water, which retards the bud break of our fruit crops, often keeping the plants dormant until after the weather warms enough to avoid killing frosts.
