I live here for the great winter spring and fall...summers are tough no question...below 60 and it's way too cold for me...damn snowbirds... ;)
60 degrees and I'm out in shorts and a t shirt..lol
This has been a cold winter. Not the coldest, but cold enough. Love those 10 degree days. The cold cuts right through your clothes.

First time I went to Florida, the wife and I were in the motel the third day, and the news said that the temperature of the gulf was 68 degrees. She saw my ears perk up and said she knew what I was thinking. I'm going swimming!
I had a riot. I'd see a big wave coming way off, so I'd start running for it. All of a sudden, the water was just barely covering my toes. I'd look up and see the wave four feet over my head and BAM! It would toss my arse back up on the beach.
After a while, I noticed what I figured were locals, standing there watching me. Every one of 'em were wearing snorkel jackets or sweaters and and long pants. One of them asked how the water was, to which I replied GREAT!
He asked me what I was smoking. Someone else piped up from behind him and said, "He's from Michigan. Didn't ya see the blue tags in the parking lot?"
Very few lakes up here ever get any warmer than 70. I don't think Superior ever gets above 60.

You are a tad inland... The big upside to that is you have a ginormous place. Mine is just somewhat over an acre in a rural-only enclave... but it has ocean breezes in summer.

Nicest place I've ever been to... and I have been all over the world.

Oh Lord!! The above is SO TRUE.

My Scottish Witch and Himself go down to the beach in parkas in the dead of winter to watch the snowbirds swimming in the bitter cold water. <-- This is gospel truth. There will be others watching, too.
