Woof. Chicago feeling like Tulsa might be moderated a bit if you’re close to the lake.
Close to that in general though will suck. I’ve been through Tulsa and OKC in the summer and thanks no thanks.
I’m thinking about those poor suckers on the other side of the lakes, catching all the humidity the prevailing winds are going to pick up. Michigan is more or less flat from the last glacial period and it’s only just barely not one big marshland. They’d better start building houses on stilts and investing in improving their drainage systems.
Buffalo catches hell from lake effect snow, but just wait until there’s lake effect monsoons.
