Although every project is different, each requires a planned, organized approach. Do you have what it takes to be a project manager? The project management Q&A below, excerpted from 101 Project Management Problems and How to Solve Them, by Tom Kendrick, will help you decide.
What causes lake effect snow? Lake effect snow is caused when a very cold winter air mass flows over the relatively warmer waters of a large lake. Because lake effect snow occurs downwind of lakes, one location can receive large snowfall accumulations, while another location just a few miles away receives little or no snow.
Lake effect snow (LES) is a local weather event that occurs when a cold air mass passes across an expanse of warm water creating convective snow bands. The phrase lake effect refers to a body of water's role in providing moisture to air that would otherwise be too dry to support snowfall. Lake Effect Snow Ingredients. To grow a snowstorm, you need moisture, lift, and below-freezing temperatures. But for lake effect snow to occur, these special conditions are also required: 1  A lake or bay of 100 km wide, or larger. 2  An unfrozen water surface. 3  A lake/land temperature difference of at least 23 Â°F (13 Â°C). 4  Light winds.
