Final answer:

Lake-effect snow is caused by winter winds picking up moisture from warm lakes and depositing it as snow on the opposite shore, resulting in heavy snowfall events.


Explanation:

Lake-effect snow occurs when winter winds pick up moisture from a relatively warm lake and drop it as snow on the opposite shore. This phenomenon is common on the east side of lakes in North America, such as the Great Lakes, leading to heavy snowfall in areas like Buffalo, New York, during events like 'Snowvember' in 2014.
