Jim, I'm a little more south that you, but here in Western North Carolina we awakened to 15 degrees. Of course we are heading for a near-tropical 33 this afternoon. Time to break out the shorts and umbrella drinks.
It's going to be 45 here in a couple days, with overnight lows of 35 or 36 a couple of nights. People can say whatever they want about Michigan, but it's not a bad place weather-wise if you're far enough inland to not be buried in lake effect snow. Unless you're in the U.P. which is like Canadian tundra compared to the southern half of the sate. The Great Lakes moderate the weather to a large degree, so it feels more like southern Ohio than it does another northern state like Minnesota.
