Bloomfield winters? (Indianapolis, Bloomington: live, summer, resident)

[smisen]

I'm an Ann Arbor resident looking to escape the gloomy winters and economic depression of MI. Bloomfield seems like a good fit for me, but how are the winters? Is there any sun or is it grey skies from October-March like in MI?

Thanks!

It can be gray, but you get some sun. I do not know how it compares to Michigan though.

Bloomfield has a much milder climate than Michigan or even Indianapolis. October is typically full of Indian summer type days. This often runs into Nov. I live about 30-45 minutes away in Bloomington. Usually by the 2nd/3rd week of April spring is in full force. I don't think it's as dreary here as it is farther north. This part of Indiana is different than the "flat lands" most people think of when they think of Indiana or the midwest. Rolling hills, creeks, lots of trees.
