The thing about up there is that they are on the snow like White on clouds. They keep the streets clean even in the worst is conditions. JERSEY could use a lesson or two from the Il crew!!!!!
Oh I remember Great Lakes! Did boot camp there

So far, Detroit has 55.0" of snow measured through the entire 2013-14 snow season which beats the previous record, to this same time, of 53.6" set back in 1977-78.

More sun? Not on this side of the lake - I think we get one sunny day a week.

Maybe not on that side of the lake but less open water means less lake effect development thus less clouds and more sun for the east side. We had sun here three days this week which has been very rare at this point. We might have actually gone a week or two without sun.
