You know you're from Michigan when ...

[cocheese 0]

When the wind chill factor is -17F and you go outside and say, "It's not that cold, at least it's sunny."
When rl says "I will never come to see you there." (before even being asked to come here)
When you finally do see the sun, you complain that it's too bright out.
Everyone thinks you are crazy except you.

Ok explanation for everyone.
I'm a troll because i live below the bridge. The Uppers (yoo pers) from the U.P. Upper Peninsula) are people who live north of the bridge.
I live just a little west of the thumb joint.
"Miss Michigan" is my girlfriend.

Now spell the name of the bridge and give a pronounciation to prove you are from Michigan.

My sisters live (points to left hand) in the tri-cities.

6.) You drive 86 mph on the highway and pass on the right.

Especially when you're towing your boat, and it's raining so hard your windshield wipers can't keep up, even on high speed.

Diving down to a formation with your eyes closed is safer than driving in Michigan.

Kinda funny i was going to mention vacationing in and pronouncing Michilimackinac. for kicks I went to thier web site and lo and behold they no longer mention the massacre that happened at the fort.

when I was a kid they had all kinds of little facts and presentations about it.

must not be politically correct anymore.

assylum is a 4-way on a 182 @10k and you can't wait for the guy in crotch and the dude in the door too get there before you have "crab claw" and just fall off the plane.
Then everybody lands and goes straight for the heater and does'nt talk till the pain subsides

[lowpole 1]

does anyone know the equation for the temp. @ alti.? Say it's - 20 @10 , exit is 70Knt , then you leave go to 120mph ?
Is the wind chill factor mute after a certain point or does it matter?
A buddy of mine " flyrye " that was flying a westwind @ atlanta told me too shut up, cause it does'nt matter after a point.
