KNOT- A unit of wind measurement found by taking the wind speed in miles per hour and dividing it by 1.15. LAKE EFFECT SNOW- Snow produced from lifting of moisture from a large lake such as the Great Lakes.

Knot Unit of speed equal to one nautical mile per hour (1.852 km/h). Lake Effect Snowstorm Snowstorm occurring on the shore of a lake or downwind from a lake, arising as a result of the modification of the air during its passage over the water.
