Climate normals for 1991-2020 from Cass City, 5.9 miles away, put the July average high at 80°F and the January average low at 13°F. About 33 inches of rain and melted snow fall in a normal year, most of it in May. Freezing nights (32°F or below) come about 158 times a year.

Some homework before launch:

• A federal rule (16 CFR Part 465) makes it unlawful to write, buy or sell fake reviews and testimonials, so the reviews on a business website have to be real. 16 CFR Part 465
