❄️ Lake-Effect Snow Lab: Cold Air over a Warm Lake, Fetch, Heat Flux and Upslope Snow Belt

Model how cold air crossing an unfrozen lake picks up heat and moisture, deepens its boundary layer, forms cloud and drops snow on the downwind shore. Slab mixed-layer physics along the fetch, upslope lift over hills and six in-page numerical checks.
