Free college and legal weed? Why do you have to be so cold, Michigan?
See also: Canada.
There is this theory that cultures that were developing in colder places had less reason to be wary of strangers, due to diseases being less transmittable in the cold, and because of that they turned out more progressive.
CHEAP legal weed😁
Eh?
It won't be cold for much longer with the way climate change is heading. I moved to Detroit a few years ago, and all my neighbors have commented on how little snow we're getting and how warm winters have been.
You're way further north than me (I'm in West-Central Indiana) and on the lake. It was -14 here last week. I can't believe it was especially balmy there.
Eh, the heat waves and cold snaps are happening nationwide. I more mean that on average, it's been pretty warm. Most of November and December was between 40F and 50F.
But for sure, the lake (and concrete from the city) helps keep temperatures moderate. We're also lucky being on the west side of the lake, so we don't have to deal with lake effect snow.
