The local weather makes up for it by being grey for 6 mo. straight.

Aw, come on, Pete... Michigan weather ain't so bad. The key is getting
yourself *OUT* of the tri-cities area to someplace like Oscoda or maybe
Gaylord. Main idea is *GET AWAY* from the cities, most especially the
ones south of Houghton Lake that are overpacked with the walking dead
that haven't figured out they're corpses yet, and where everything gets
pounded and/or polluted into slop instead of staying nice and bright and
pretty.

Yeah, I don't mind the weather that much. The boys have learned to
snowboard, so it's off to Boyne or somewhere on the west side once in
a while.
