Hi Dan, you live only about 18 miles south of us and around 5 miles inland. We also get a belly laugh with some of the long cold winter claims some print. If people really want cold winters they really don't have to go to the U.P. just go to Minnesota or the Dakota's or even to Wisconsin across the big Lake Michigan from us as they get zero warming effect from the lake as their winds come from the west and northwest..
It's Usually 10 to 25 degrees F colder over there with cold fronts. Very clearly shown on the many radar/temperature maps on the Internet or the TV. They also do not get the natural A/C cooling effect from the big wide deep lake in summer either. We haven't even turned on our A/C at home or in one of the RV's in 9 years as it's never been needed or wanted around here. I really don't even know if our home A/C still works or not and don't really care. The constant cool breezes coming off the lake are simply superb all summer long as they are cooler than the sun heated air and warmer than the colder air in winter coming off the summer heated vast lake water. Beside that, it's entirely free and never needs any maintenance and so energy efficient!
How little some people on here know but think they do!
