Editing Lake-effect snow (section)

==== Around the Baltic Sea ====
In Northern Europe, cold, dry air masses from Russia can blow over the [[Baltic Sea]] and cause heavy snow squalls on areas of the southern and eastern coasts of Sweden, as well as on the Danish island of [[Bornholm]], the east coast of [[Jutland]] and the northern coast of [[Poland]]. For the northern parts of the Baltic Sea, this happens mainly in the early winter, since it freezes later. Southeast Norway can also experience heavy sea snow events with east-north-easterly winds. Especially, coastal areas from [[Kragerø]] to [[Kristiansand]] have had incredible snow depths in the past with intense persistent snowbands from [[Skagerak]] (the coastal city of Arendal recorded {{convert|280|cm|in|abbr=on}} in a single week in late February 2007).<ref>{{Cite web |url=https://www.vegvesen.no/_attachment/59094/binary/5448 |title=Rapport om vær- og føreforhold i Agder i perioden 20.-28. februar 2007 |trans-title=Report on weather and driving conditions in Agder in the period 20–28 February 2007 |language=no |date=2007-05-01 |website=Statens vegvesen [State Highways Authority] |access-date=2019-10-25 |archive-date=2019-10-25 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20191025125918/https://www.vegvesen.no/_attachment/59094/binary/5448 |url-status=dead}}</ref> Although Fennoscandia is lined with an abundance of lakes, this type of snowfall is rare in these, due to the shallow freshwater freezing early in the cold interiors. One notable exception happened in the middle of May 2008, as [[Leksand]] on the since-long unfrozen lake of [[Siljan (lake)|Siljan]] got {{convert|30|cm|in|abbr=on}} on the ground.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.smhi.se/klimat/klimatet-da-och-nu/manadens-vader-och-vatten-sverige/maj-2008-bade-sommarvarme-och-sent-snofall-1.4213|title=Maj 2008 - Både sommarvärme och sent snöfall|language=sv|publisher=[[Swedish Meteorological and Hydrological Institute]]|date=2 June 2008|accessdate=31 March 2022|archive-date=October 3, 2022|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20221003051355/https://www.smhi.se/klimat/klimatet-da-och-nu/manadens-vader-och-vatten-sverige/maj-2008-bade-sommarvarme-och-sent-snofall-1.4213|url-status=live}}</ref>
