FHN, I would be very depressed living in Michigan due very cold weather.
The winters are gorgeous though. And the summers? They are so pleasant. You can enjoy being outside, usually for the entire day. And in summertime, the sunset comes at 10:00 PM. The spring is much later here than in Georgia, but the springs are lovely.
Cooler weather starts in September.
I miss so many of the trees and flowers from the south though: honeysuckle scent in the air, wisteria climbing all over everything, mimosa trees with their pink "fairy broom" flowers, gardenia bushes, magnolia trees...
There are a lot of plusses here in West Michigan, though. Sadly, my rent has been raised so sky high, I think I'm going to be priced out of Michigan, literally.
