Weather in Germany

There are some subtle differences in the weather from where we live and weather in Europe. The weather in Europe, on average, does not get as cold as it would in Michigan. There is a wider range of temperatures in Michigan than there is in the German speaking countries. Mostly though, both places have about the same weather. The weather in the United States varies more than Europe's weather does. The difference between Florida and Michigan's weather during the winter has a greater variation that the countries in Europe. The weather usually does not affect food. However, it affects transportation in the winter when there is a lot of snow and the roads are icy. Free time in the winter is spent differently than in the summer. Also, if it is very hot in the summer then people may stay inside more. Housing can also be affected by winter depending on if there is a heater and air conditioning.
