Ha ha YAZ ya smart azz LOL I think he meant inland lakes and Lake Erie is not the best example of one of the great lakes. I'd give it to Ohio. hahaha

Lake Erie is not in Ohio, it is along side it. Perhaps the correct statement is "There are no natural lakes IN Ohio."
I keep forgetting that we are supposed to use perfect spelling and grammar on CD.

We might move to MI. The weather I like best is when big snowflakes are falling straight down. Does MI have that, or just blizzards, where the snow goes sideways because of the wind?

We can get snow both ways, last winter it was mostly big flakes falling straight down. With a few rather good storms when the wind kicked up a bit, no blizzards last year where I was.

You will see ALL kinds of flakes lol. Big feathery ones gently falling down, small tiny flakes that just look like a white sheet, medium sized flakes, etc. Im unsure of where you are coming from, but one thing you will notice in MI is how often snow is falling...I can think of no other place where snow FALLS so frequently, even if it isnt quickly collecting. Even here in metro-Detroit, well outside of the lake belts, we have stretches each winter where snowflakes are seen daily for weeks at a time. If you are moving inside one of the snowbelts...watch out!

From South Haven north to Muskegon, it is one big snow belt along the western side of the state (eastern shore of Lake Michigan). Fennville, Holland and Grand Haven seem to be particularly hard hit with lake effect snow bands when they occur - which is often.
I'm in Holland and last year we had everything from light/small flakes to huge fluffy wet flakes. Some fall straight down, some come at you sideways. It's a nice mix if you like snow.
