HA-ha!

So, a week ago I wrote this. I'd like to go back and rehash some of those points, specifically the ones referring to Michigan weather.

You define summer as three months of bad sledding.
Not so sure about it any more. Maybe this summer will be merely mediocre sledding, not bad.
Your Little League baseball game was snowed out.
I bet this happened to some kids this week.

Oh, wait- it did happen to the Tigers. Are they considered "Little League"?

You have experienced frostbite and sunburn in the same week.
Bet some people actually dealt with this.

"Honey, didn't we just get to the beach? Why is the sand so cold and white???"

You show people where you grew up by pointing to a spot on your left hand.
I saw the girl on the news actually do this. It was friggin' cool. 'Course, she was pointing to Lansing when she said, "Now I'm pointing to Detroit," but oh well. At least she used the right hand.
You know more about [wind-]chill factors and lake effect [snow] than you'd EVER like to know!
Hey! Bring back Nelson!

You never watch the Weather Channel - you can just assume they're wrong.
I say again: "If you don't like the weather in Michigan, wait five minutes. It'll get worse."

Toldya.

Oh, incidentally, the picture of the woman scraping the late-April ice off her windshield- yeah, that's the town I grew up in. Clarkston, Michigan. So, one last great big Nelson for all my snowbound relatives:

HA-ha!!!
