Actually, the lake keeps you warmer in the winter and cooler in the summer, it is a huge heat sink in the summer and a heat source in the winter, it basically moderates the temperature.

I always turn my car off, not worth risking having it broken into or stolen. Also, it is illegal to leave it running and you risk a ticket.

what are you talking about here?

Leaving your car running when you run into a store or somewhere else.

It is more windy around the lakes, but wind chill is not as cold as the actual temperature it says it feels like it is.

Trust me, I live right on Lake Michigan down state and I live pretty close to Lake Superior at school, lakes moderate your temperatures, keep you warmer in winter and cooler in summer.

Ok, I wasn't arguing with you. I was just saying people think its colder because there is more wind.

Its always colder down by the lake no matter what time of the year it is here anyways and I would know I go down there alot to go fishing.

just spent an hour and a half at - 21 before wind chill, changing my tire. first went to just air up a little, well water in the air lines froze my valve open:furious: then the jack my jeep came with was about 4" too short. and my rim was frozen to the facking hub, nice guy in a lincoln truck loaned me his jackthanks

It's the windchill, it feels like -23 without wind, however anything left outside like a can of pop or a metal bar will not get any colder than -6 since that is the air temp, but it will cool down faster.
