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.
Precipitation in the clouds is usually formed below 20,000 feet, as sketched in the first diagram on the right. Upward and downward motions in ordinary snowstorms are rather gentle. The exception is lake-effect snow, where the clouds are created by heating of air moving over relatively warm lakes. Lake-effect snowstorms have narrow clouds shaped more like ordinary thunderstorms, and actually sometimes develop thunder and lightning. Most thundersnow events develop when ordinary flat, layered snow clouds develop upward bumps or turrets, as illustrated in the second diagram.
