I live in Michigan. If you are kvetching about winter and that dirty four letter word that starts with an s, we are the kind people you have to thank. Our lovely Great Lakes and dunes are what creates "lake effect" snow. No, that's not just a really good stout from Cleveland's Great Lakes Brewing. Would that it were.
Between them, lakes Huron, Ontario, Michigan, Erie and Superior work together to channel that lovely accumulation down on to many of you in in the south, west and east. Accumulation, btw, is another good IPA beer by New Belgium. I WILL Not Complain About Winter (Lather, Rinse, Repeat)
