Over the last five days, I’ve heard plenty about “the lake effect.” Ask a Lake Michigan resident about the weather forecast and they’ll tell you that they’re expecting 8 – 12 inches or 2 – 3 feet of snow, “but you never can tell. It’s the lake effect, you know.” I used to think that phrase referred to precipitation due to evaporation from the lake, but now I think it just means “be prepared for anything.”

The Lake Effect is no laughing matter. I live not even a mile away from Lake Michigan (Chicago) and it can be hellish during the winter.
ReplyDeleteAlso, I think the Lake Effect is a pro wrestler's finishing move. But don't quote me on that.
Love the boots.
I've lived in Northern Michigan my whole life (well I was born in Dayton, Ohio but only lived there until I was one, so it doesn't really count).... and to me I always get a chuckle out of the Lake Effect Snow. It's still snow! I mean, just because it's "lake effect" doesn't mean it's imaginary. I'm still shoveling it, trudging through it, bundling up to fight it, etc.!
ReplyDeleteLooks like you managed to stay warm!
I love the tights, especially.
I'm a leeeetle jealous of all that snow! I just discovered your blog and I love all your layering, I def do not have the knack for that.

ReplyDeleteI relocated from SW Michigan to upstate New York... and I miss the lake effect. Its bitter cold and dry here, bone-chilling. I'd rather have warmer, wetter snow.
