HI GUYS!!
Just thought I would create a thread for all of the Michiganders out there since there seems to be quite a few of us- I want to see how many of us there are!!

 

[DisneyAngie]

I'm a Michigander!

 

[TheBeckyZone]

I'm from Michigan too!

 

[figment427]

[QueenofPrideRock]

I'm a Chicagoan who goes to school in Michigan, does that count?

You'll be here for winter, so yeah, that counts.

Not that Chicago winters are drastically different....

I'm from Michigan! Worked & went to school in the city (Detroit) but live just north of there now.

 

[wannabefreeee]

Yay for the Mitten state

I got to eastern michigan university. What colleges/universities does everyone attend?

And also, who plans on driving down? I know I'm flying for sure. That 16 hour drive isn't easy I've heard! Although, I kind of want to experience driving so far south. Who knows...

I recieved my thank you email. Now only 4-6 weeks left, but HOPEFULLY SOONER

I've heard Michigan's are similar in temperature but snowier (or at least they are in Kalamazoo).

Wow so many people already!!! Sweet!!
I will be driving down there- the drive isn't bad at all- my bf and I plan on leaving around 5 or 6 in the evening and just driving all night- smooth sailing and no traffic- he's done it once already.
I flew down for my first CP but drove back up and it was pretty awesome going through the mountains!!
Oh and I go to Schoolcraft in Livonia

WOOO Michigan!!

And since this is a Michigan thread, and there is a game tonight.. LETS GO WINGS!

I wish I could watch!! GO WINGS!!!!!

Another Michigander! I live in Muskegon and go to Grand Valley. I am a CP alumni and hoping for a PI, but we'll see. I'd really like to get out of here before the snow accumulates

I've heard Michigan's are similar in temperature but snowier (or at least they are in Kalamazoo).

I've actually heard that Chicago's are colder, but that's based on what people have told me, not actual facts. In Kalamazoo, you're probably going to get some lake effect snow. We get snow on over here on the eastern side of the state as well (it probably snowed 5-6" 3-4 times last year, plus a whole bunch of 2-3" days), and there's a ton of it as you get further north (especially the UP). I'm just glad I don't have to drive in it this year

For those thinking about driving... driving through the Smokey Mountains is really pretty. But you'll also spend a LOT of time driving through Ohio, in which there is nothing to look at. We used to drive to WDW, and I remember that the first half (we spent two days driving; after one, we'd be in Kentucky/Tenn.) seemed to drag, and the second half flew by (probably 'cause I knew we were getting really close!)

MM HMM. Pathetic! It was sad to see after the effectively shut down Ovechkin in Saturday's game. LAME, Wings. (We lost 6-2).

Yoopers! As in people from the Upper Peninsula.. UP'ers... Yoopers!
