I have lived in Michigan all of my life. What is as familiar to me as Detroit and Vernor’s pop is the crazy weather here. This week was so erratic it was like watching a person with multiple personalities trying to find one person to represent them.

Besides the crappy freezing rain and foot and a half of snow which firmly stuck my car on the side of the road, the high winds and the rain about gave me a stroke when I was trying to Christmas shop for the family.

The funny thing is I am off to vacation in Minnesota now to visit a friend. Now that is one state that trumps Michigan for the worst winter weather. However, the instability of Michigan’s weather is famous. I have seen hail and a snowstorm on a summer day. I have seen rain and lightning in winter. What I would miss if I ever moved out of this schizophrenic climate is the excitement that comes with waking up in Michigan and trying to predict the weather. If you don’t like the weather here after all, wait a minute! It will change and maybe for the better! A word of advice though..planning an outdoor event here is like carving a sandcastle close to the water’s edge, it may or may not hold. Outdoor weddings in Michigan are a constant source of amusement as well…
