South Haven, Ludington, and Traverse City are located right on Lake Michigan. Lansing and Coldwater are located inland. Why might the snowfall totals be significantly higher in South Haven, Ludington, and Traverse City during the eight-day period?
A.
The lake water is cooler than the land, which produces large amounts of snow in areas close to the water.
B.
The air traveling across the lake is warmer than the lake, and it produces snow as it passes over the cold lake water.
C.
The air traveling across the lake is the same temperature as the lake, so water is less likely to evaporate from the lake.
D.
The lake water is warmer than the land, which produces large amounts of snow in areas close to the water.
