I know other areas use the old line - "If you don't like the weather, wait five minutes". But as you can see, it is literally true here in Michigan. P.S. Holland's TULIP FESTIVAL is in May, not March. It still snows off and on right into May, some years. P.S.2 - You were wise not to try the water when the wind is fierce. The undertow can be quite dangerous.
