moisture laden air causing more snow in the vicinity. But since they also
retain their temperature, they also act as a source of moisture to replenish
the water vapor in the air. It's pretty common to see a haze of evaporation
fog caused by the cool air moving over the warmer body of water. Also, it's
pretty common knowledge (though I don't know the exact physics) that it
can't snow if it's too cold, so the lakes/oceans keep the temp up near
freezing or so, allowing for snow. But while there's more snow, the temps
are also generally not as low as inland.
