You're right.
I live about 30 miles east of Lake Michigan. The lake keeps our temperatures more moderate than inland areas -- a little warmer in the winter and a little cooler in the summer. Chicago's summer weather reports always state, "Cooler near the lake." We also tend to get a little more precipitation -- often in the form of lake-effect snow.
