A water body that has an upper surface exposed to the atmosphere and has no appreciable gradient (that is, the surface is relatively flat). Ponds (small, shallow lakes) and wetlands (areas of poor surface drainage, such as marshes and swamps, which may contain standing water during some seasons) are included under the general definition of a lake.

lake-effect snows
Subject: The Earth
Localized snowstorms that form on the downwind side of a lake. Such storms are common in late fall and early winter near the Great Lakes as cold, dry air picks up moisture and warmth from the unfrozen bodies of water.
