For valentines weekend we went to the UP (Northern Michigan... the upper peninsula). It was so pretty and cold. It's been so cold this winter, that now that it's in the 30's, I get too hot at work if I wear a sweater and when I go outside I just wear a light jacket or no jacket at all. I got in the car the other day and it had been really cold that morning, so my heat settings were at the highest temp but on low and it was WAY too hot! I should not think that's too hot when it's still 30 degrees outside. I hate to admit, I'm used to the cold. Not many Michiganders that I know like the weather here, but I love winter. Here are some really cool things we saw where there is always a lot of snow in the winter, even long after it's all melted at home.
Tequamenan Falls. Look close, there are tons of snow flakes in the air, and a giant mound of ice at the base of the falls. Those falls look short and stubby, but they aren't, they are just frozen really high in the water.
This is Lake Superior. The great lakes freeze in waves. Pretty cool looking.
In this picture, you can see where an ice breaker came through the frozen lake and broke up a path.
Mackinaw Bridge.
