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.
The same effect also occurs over bodies of salt water, when it is termed ocean-effect or bay-effect snow. The effect is enhanced when the moving air mass is uplifted by the orographic influence of higher elevations on the downwind shores. This uplifting can produce narrow but very intense bands of precipitation, which deposit at a rate of many inches of snow each hour, often resulting in a large amount of total snowfall.
