False Summer (Michigan)

A meteorological prank where Michigan briefly experiences beautiful spring weather for about 48 hours before returning to snow, wind, and existential disappointment.

Known side effects include:

• wearing shorts in March
• grilling in the driveway
• everyone collectively saying “maybe winter’s finally over”
• immediate regret

Scientists believe this phenomenon exists solely to keep Michiganders humble.

Yesterday I was driving with the windows down in a T-shirt. Today I’ve got my North Face zipped up. False summer (Michigan).
