I’m from California, and I’ll be attending college in Michigan this coming fall.

I have no clue what the weather tends to be like in Michigan, other than that it actually snows in the winter (something totally foreign to me). I also don’t know how to dress for whatever weather there will be in Michigan on a regular basis. I don’t know if it tends to rain, or if it’s actually fairly sunny and warm most of the time, or if it’ll just be sunny but cold (50 degrees being cold) most of the time.

Also, regarding what to wear: I know what to wear for a daytrip skiing in Lake Tahoe here in CA, but not what to wear on a regular schoolday in MI where the ground is covered in snow and ice– snow pants would seem a little extreme for that.

So: what is fall weather like in lower Michigan? Winter? Spring? And how should I dress for each season?

Lots of details would be nice.
I’ll be at Albion College, which is towards the southwestern end of Michigan. If that helps in terms of weather explanations.

Besides keeping in shape, is there a way to begin to train myself for trying new tricks this ski season? Any suggestions? Any practices?
