Weather

Since moving here, we've told a variety of people that it is substantially colder where we grew up than Northern England and often (though not always) get a puzzled look, as if to say, "really?" So just to give any UK readers some context it is presently -6 F in the town where my parents live which works out to -21 C and in Michigan where Meg's folks live it is a high of 12 F, which works out to -11 C. Just for context.

I believe ya! During my senior year of high school (in Eastern Michigan) they had to cancel school for a week b/c it was -72F with the wind chill.

I think England, while cold at times, has a more moderate climate like the Pacific NW.
