Bull of being -40 at Lake Gogebic in Michigan's Upper Peninsula at Christmas time.
Average temp in Gogebic County in December is 24.2 degrees for the high and 9.1 for the low at night. January is the coldest month and the high is 20.3 with the low being 2.9 Degrees. Look it up!
We live in West Michigan and have for 77+ years and have gone up to the U.P. so many times in mid winter (Tahquamenon Falls, Drummond Island, and various other locations) both by vehicle and with one of our RV's for several days and nights at a time and it's not even cold feeling. You dress for the weather no matter where you are at on the Planet Earth!
BTW, there are CG's open in the winter up there and yes the electric is on too. Toilet facilities open but not showers at many or dump stations at most locations. Simply sponge bathe in your RV if no showers open, works fine! We certainly had lots of fun at Tahquamenon Falls CG in Jan and Feb every time and always were lots of other RV'ers there too. All is kept plowed. Gobs of snowmobilers, skiers, and snowshoeing enthusiasts too. Restaurants are open and so are motels and cabins as the U.P. is a beautiful winter wonderland.
Even been to Copper Harbor (Northern tip of the U.P.) and all around Lake Superior going thru Ontario Canada in the deep winter and never got cold.
