It was a big factor in the heavy snows over the SE in January 1987. I had a
level 38cm and it began to fall at temperatures of around minus 8C to minus
10C. Southend had a depth of over 60cm and some it fell at temperatures
close to minus 10C.

Does an easterly passing over the North Sea to England ever result in a
similar effect to "lake effect snow"?

This effect can result in quite large snowfalls at say, Chicago from Lake
Michigan, so why does it never happen for England?

Sorry if this is a stupid question
