Winter Weather in the Great Lakes Bay
Average High: 32° / Average Low: 19°
WHAT TO EXPECT
Winter brings plenty of fresh, fluffy powder — and with it, chances to stay active on skis and snowshoes, fat bikes and skates. Bundle up and brave the cold, then choose a place to cozy in after (where you can warm your bones with hot coffee, or a hot toddy)!
WHAT TO PACK
A heavy, waterproof winter coat; hat, scarf, and gloves. Boots that can hold their own in some accumulation — and lots of soft, fleecy layers to up the warmth factor, especially if the snow’s flying.
