I find it amazing all the hype around weather these days. It's wintertime. It gets cold it snows. When I lived in NY, NJ as a kid and teenager we got a ton of snow and I don't remember hearing about the "arctic blasts" or "polar vortex". We layered our clothing, put on a winter jacket and a scarf around our necks, a pair of mittens and boots and we were good to go! MI winters can also be uncomfortable but it's wintertime; bundle up if you need to go outdoors; otherwise sit around the woodstove for heaven's sake.
