Pretty accurate list! A few exceptions though:
- Not sure why one would bother slowing to 90 for the 60 cm (2 ft) of snow.
- Never have had A/C ... usually only one or two times a year when I think I might use it.
- Is that -2 Fahrenheit or Celsius? I'll assume Fahrenheit, as -2 C (28 F) is a perfectly good day for a round of golf. Personally I am quite happy with -2 F (-19 C) ... don't even need to bother zipping up my jacket :)
May long weekend is almost here and luckily (fingers crossed) no apparent signs of snow ... just lots of rain and temp just above zero so you never know what could happen. Driving to work this morning I noticed there were still some remnants of 2 late April snowstorms in the ditch.

The list totally fits Minnesota. Here is more:

All of this really applies to Northern Lower P. Michigan let alone the UP. Still having frost warnings on the news.

Just a quick comment - you do know Canada is SOUTH of Detroit - right ? So vacationing south of Detroit could be Windsor, Ont ! One thing I learned from my youth growing up in Detroit ...

Who would hit the same deer twice?
The first time was an attempted suicide on the deer's part...Second time was to finish the job so the family could have some meat in the freezer....

I live in Northern New York and what was said about Canada is also true here in Northern New York.
I was going to say the same. Lived in central NY south of Utica. Moved to So Cal in 11 to get away from snow/cold. He didn't mention leaving your unlocked car in winter running in the parking lot as you run into the store. Or the people in tanktops, shorts and flipflops walking on snow covered ground anytime it's over 30 degrees in January to April.

I live 30 miles from Canada and the one about driving fast is so true!
