It's similar here in the Lower Peninsula. I'm in Traverse City, near Lake Michigan. The lowest temp here lately has been around -10F. 50 miles inland, it was -27. And it's colder still on the other side of the lake, in Wisconsin. But we've had more than 6 feet of snow since the last thaw--and that's a different kind of intense!
