  • New York’s climate varies through interacting latitude, elevation, continentality, lake influence, and Atlantic influence.
  • Lake-effect snow illustrates atmospheric instability, fetch, moisture transfer, and wind-direction controls at a regional scale.
  • New Netherland’s economy depended on waterways, merchant networks, and Indigenous exchange relationships, linking environmental and social histories.
