I learned that I really like summer here for 1 reason, lush greenery. I fell in love with green grass and lush canopies of maple trees. Paradise to me is a green meadow, forest and a calm lake making soft water sounds.
But I am disappointed becausethis year with how long winter was. We had an ice storm the 3rd week of April, and we were experiencing 10 below average degree temperatures for 3 weeks of April. May is well underway, and many oak trees are just barely budding. I have come to the realization there might be other states better than Michigan, at least from my perspective. Don’t get me wrong, Michigan summers are gorgeous, with the beaches, Great Lakes, and forests, but it’s just too short for me. We only get a solid 5 months of green, and then back to clouds, cold, and graveyard scenery. So I want to know about your climates.
Is your climate ideal for you? What do you like and dislike about t? I am specifically wondering if you can suggest to me similar states to Michigan, where the grass is green, the trees are abundant, and the summers last longer. Are the summers miserably hot and muggy? We don’t get too hot up here. Let me know, thanks.
I'm about 30 miles from you on the Canadian side.
The last couple of years have not been normal in the Great Lakes area.
Hang in there and you'll have some great years.
