Lake-Effect Snow

Which choice most accurately summarizes New York’s Lake-Effect Snow?

• 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.
• The Haudenosaunee Confederacy should be treated as an alliance of sovereign nations with internal political diversity rather than as a single undifferentiated polity.
