hey all you sweaty guys.....
How do you deal with the combined heat and humidity, do you ever get used to it? Got home from a camping trip where it was in the mid 90's with about 15% humidity, and returned to 85 and showers with about 70% humidity... Hard on a sweaty old fat guy..

Good advise there Mike! I lived my entire life without air conditioning. Then about 4 years ago, my new place had it and I can no longer seem to live without it! Guess it made a woose out of me. But then, life is supposed to get better for us in our autumn years! 0 -
A really big hat. (baseball cap doesn?t get it.) 0 -
Highly recommend sitting on the shore of one of the many Great lakes that surround Michigan. Those bodies of water don't warm up until September (and Lk Superior remains a BIG heat sink all year round) 0 -

Does it snow year round?
I was warned by a local in Steamboat about the ability of the weather to change inside 45 minutes. I (a flat lander) didn't believe him until I experienced it one day. Went from tee shirt weather to freezing rain in an hour. Watched 4 different 'fronts' come in from 4 different directions (Steamboat is in a bowl). Climbed up to Rabbit Ear Pass (9000 ft elv) and into the clouds. Got to Walton to be greeted by snow - Sept 14th 1994 IIRC)0
