Lake Superior is an OCEAN compared to the other Great Lake puddles.

Lake effect snow is the price paid for living next to the largest reserve of fresh water on Planet Earth.
Warmer by the lake / Cooler by the lake are interchangeable terms proving that she (the Great Lakes) takes care of the faithful lining her shores.

I grew up on the Southwest corner of Lake Michigan.
We had snow and we liked it. (Sorta like the primadonna area of the Great Lakes - we experience it all but in gentle quanities.)
Weather Elements: Lake-Effect Snow Climatology in the Great Lakes Region
I like the article. But, in 1977, my father had to put a ladder up to the roof, and from there we would go up the snow steps he built so we could get in top of the snow to play. We had a whole week off of school, most of which was spent pigeontoed onto the back hitch with my sister for weight so dad could snowblow. For days.
The lake and St. Lawrence are great, but thundersnow sucks.
