The lake moderates cold air outbreaks along the lakeshore during winter months.
2.
In Florida, the enhanced likelihood of warmer-than-normal-temperatures could be punctuated by cold air outbreaks, or Florida Freezes,
3.
Polar cold air outbreaks, cool ocean upwelling, orographic precipitation and the Antarctic Circumpolar Current further affect the regional climate.
4.
During arctic cold air outbreaks in mid-winter afternoon temperatures can stay below 0 F (-18 C and fall to-25 F (-32 C ) in the mornings.
5.
They form over large lakes and oceans during cold air outbreaks while the water is still relatively warm, and can be an important mechanism in vertically transporting moisture.
6.
Sea-effect snow is observed less frequently than its " lake-effect " cousin, because the wind direction in cold air outbreaks is usually from the northwest, causing only sea-bound vessels to be affected by these snows.
7.
Compared with the last three winters, cold air outbreaks could lead to more days below zero and heavier lake-effect snow in the western portions of Pennsylvania and New York, northern Ohio, Michigan, Wisconsin and northeastern Minnesota.
