If you live in Michigan, or anywhere remotely close to it, you know what springtime means; nothing, it means absolutely nothing.
Do not expect Michigan to conform to any sort of spring standards because it will not happen. Michigan cannot be tamed.
So if you've ever experienced a Michigan spring, you may have found yourself pondering these thoughts.
1. "Yes! It's the first day of spring! That means I'll be able to wear shorts in a few months!"
Just because it's technically spring, doesn't mean that the temperature will exceed 40 degrees anytime soon.
2. "Even though there's a wind chill advisory, the sun is peaking out so that's a good sign, right?"
We'll take any sun we can get.
3. "Oh my goodness it's 8 pm and it's still light outside! This is incredible!"
After months of sunset set occurring at what feels like noon, you forget how nice longer days are.
4. "The snow is melting so that means I can wear sandals"
This seems to be a universal assumption among Michiganders, however, I for one still take issue with this.
5. "Oh boy! It's finally starting to feel like spring!"
Time to break out my shorts!
6. "Ope. Looks like there's another winter storm headed our way."
Don't ever get too attached to the weather.
7. "What even is spring?"
It's like the tooth fairy. It's made up, I tell you!
8. "Wow, a snow day in April! Who would've thunk?"
The only upside to a snow storm in April.
9. "Oh my gosh! WHY is it 80 degrees?"
There is NO transition period.
10. "I guess it's time to put my winter attire away."
You must change over your wardrobe to fit the new weather.
