re: #323 Eclectic Cyborg
There are at least three modest size lakes in the DFW area that could be triggers for lake effect snow.
More info here: nbcdfw.com
Here in the Land of 10,000 Lakes, practically all snow is lake effect snow.
/half - there are several lakes here that are large enough to provide lake effect snow, but by no means all. I happen to live in between two of them, but the wind direction very rarely causes true lake effect.
