This is my second winter here, and as someone from West Michigan I see a lot of differences. First of all it&#8217;s way more windy in Indiana which makes it feel colder. I don&#8217;t enjoy this especially when I have to walk to class. Secondly, there is way less snow. I live only 20 minutes from Lake Michigan so I am used to a lot of snow. A common misconception is that it is always snowy in Michigan during the winter but it&#8217;s not (unless you go up north). It&#8217;s only really snowy when we get snowstorms which on average is maybe 3-6 times a year. There has never been hardly any snow at Purdue which is fine because I don&#8217;t like how wet it makes the discovery lot when it melts. I didn&#8217;t think moving three hours south I would see a huge difference in snow driving but I was wrong. We get 1 inch of snow here and people drive like it&#8217;s an ice storm. One thing I miss about the snow though is that it&#8217;s so pretty when it&#8217;s all on the pine trees and there are big snowflakes falling. I also miss snowmobiling which you can&#8217;t do in Indiana hardly ever. Overall I would like Indiana weather more if it wasn&#8217;t so windy or if they would cancel class.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I&#8217;ve been in Indiana consistently for over 1.5 years now.
