Michigan is blessed with a gentle winter for the midwest. Try not to
laugh. Our state is kept warmer all winter long by four water bottles
called Michigan, Huron, Superior and Huron. It's an infrequent winter
when these immense bodies of water ice over totally. November is the
eviction of any notion that winter won't live up to it's name. I saw a
patch of Impatiens hanging on, but November will touch them and freeze
those juicy stocks, as if Jack Frost from the Santa Claus movie had
zapped. When a mild thaw arrives to tease us, those stalks will topple
over like cooked spinich. Our lawns are about to turn white of frost.
You don't have to mow but you aren't going to run barefoot over
either. November is, check history, a few degrees colder than
December. December often musters up a week of warmer, foggier days
after November shakes us down with shivers. January & February makes
mercury plummet, but compared to towns as far north as Muskegon
Michigan in Wisconsin, Minnesota & South Dakota, we get off easily
