Mysterious Michigan

One of the things I like best about living in Michigan is how we get every single season, and in great force! We get cool, rainy, and colorful springs; hot, sweaty, and humid summers; warm to cool beautiful autumns; and of course, cold, snowy and icy winters! However, part of the mystery of Michigan is that day to day you rarely know for sure what weather you'll see. One day it'll be freezing cold and snowing, and the next it'll be warm and sunny. Such an occurrence happened just today! Yesterday, I had to cover my face and hands and run back from class to get out of the biting cold, and then today, we've jumped 30 degrees and it feels warm and toasty! Yes, it's still only hovering around 4o degrees, but it feels like I could go out with just a jacket and be fine!

The other part of the mystery has to do with some of the Michiganders themselves. The other day, while it was still completely cold and snowing, I saw a few people walking around in shorts! I had five layers on top, two on the bottom, with every possible part of me covered up, when I see these crazies strolling towards an open field. I finally start to put the pieces together- they were going to go play football in the foot and a half of snow while wearing long sleeve ts and shorts! (No, the picture isn't of the same people, but just so you can picture it in your mind...) You might get warm from running around, but they just took it to another level of stupid. I don't understand them! It's all part of the mystery, I guess!
