Interesting Weather Trivia
Did you know that Sault Ste. Marie’s location near Lake Superior significantly influences its weather? The lake acts as a natural air conditioner in the summer, keeping temperatures cooler. This same effect can lead to increased snowfall in the winter due to lake-effect snow, which occurs when cold air moves over the relatively warmer waters of the lake.
