Weather verses Wetter

Living in Michigan my whole life, I've seen all four seasons, and on occasions, I've seen all four seasons in one day. From viewing an article, it can be presumed that Germany, too, has unpredictable and very different weather conditions (http://gogermany.about.com/od/planyourtrip/tp/weather_in_germany.htm). Much like Michigan, it can snow in the spring and summer can last longer than predicted. Despite all these similarities, a few differences are still present. German summers can reach up to 80 degrees, and even though this may seem hot among all the cool months, it doesn't top Michigan's 90s. The lows in Michigan also seem to be more steep. Such a small difference in weather can have drastic changes, but the most common seen is differences in agriculture. Natural and weather-related disasters seem to be similar for Michigan and Germany.
