I would not prefer them because I don't care for very long stretches of cloudiness. Colder dry arctic air with low temperatures well below zero are somewhat less common in areas that are closest to the Great Lakes themselves. Note the average low temperature differential between Syracuse and Saranac Lake for instance. The climate of the latter is what I prefer, even if it means less of an influence from Lake Effect snowfall.
Why not a little of both? I like the climate of Old Forge:
Hopefully. Last couple of summers the southern shoreline temps of Lake Michigan peaked in the mid 70's but were frequently in the low 70's and even the upper 60's in 2014. Typically shoreline temps peak in the upper 70's to 80 degrees which for me is more tolerable to swim in.
We vacation often in the South Haven Michigan area and it's amazing to me how much the water temperature varies from year to year and sometimes from day to day.
Another failure in store for tonight's low. Looks like the forecast 39 F will be nowhere close to reality, as we haven't gone below 51 F as of midnight.
Upstate NY winters are among the best IMO due to the cloudiness. You don't have to trade in the cold for clouds there.
I'd prefer a winter that didn't stay stuck in cloudy or clear skies; I like seeing big puffy lake effect clouds and switching between cloudy/partly cloudy skies quickly with a short flurry in between.
Looks like significant snow is happening Wednesday.
