The reasons why Michigan winters are worse are:

  • Winter usually starts before Thanksgiving and ends after Easter.
  • Thanks to lots of cloud coverage, Michigan is in a perpetual state of grey.
  • Not just regular snow but a "wintery mix of precipitation" all winter long.
  • Nothing to do outside, recreation there is none during Michigan winters.
