Yes Michigan has the five minute rule!

ya’ got that right!

Isn’t our un-official State Motto, “if you don’t like the weather, wait 5 minutes.”

How is “summer” defined in the United States?

My gas-utility always lists the number of ‘degree-heating’ days in my billing period in Winter, and the electric utility does the same for degree-cooling days in Summer. (Which they count up/down from 72 degrees, and allows me to compare my bills.)

Har…. I thought “1939 was the hottest summer EVER on Earth!”
