Winter Survival Guide

Michigan Winters can be cold and snowy!  Be sure to get a warm coat, gloves, scarf, hat, and boots.  Our coldest month is January and the average temperature is around 18 degrees Fahrenheit (which is about -8 degrees Celsius).  There are colder days and there are warmer days-this is the average. More than the cold, it can snow! On average, it can snow about 100 centimeters in a year here in Michigan.  Be sure to bundle up!
