I am glad I do not live in Ohio.  Being a swing state makes for a lot of political ads
I grew in Michigan it's required for me not to like Ohio. Even though it's located in the great lakes region.
laugh!  Yes though the Great lakes looks like a nice place to live
The summers were great. We lived right on Lake Michigan. The winters were terrible. We actually called the Laurentian Great Lakes
Yes the winters do sound horrible up there.  I could not deal with all of the snow up there
Winter lasted 6-7 months even in the Lower Peninsula of the Mitten.
Ouch!  That is how long summer lasts down here!
We are planning to Movie to Florida later this year. I want endless summer.  I think down around Columbus which is the capital of ohio winter last about 5 months.
