Since the Great Lakes are so big they change our weather. In the winter the cold air comes across the water and picks up moisture from the warmer water. It drops it on the cold lakeshore in the form of snow. By the time winter is ending the water is cold, so it takes awhile to warm itself. This cools off the air that comes over the lakes during the summer. Then, by the end of summer, the water is warm, and it also takes awhile to cool itself down.
