Washington State is certainly more damp than Michigan consistently, but Michigan has a flurry of weather shifts due to its location with a lot of flash freezing. One time I went to wipe snow off my rear windshield and the windshield shattered by merely touching it. That was not a fun day. For the maple syrup drinkers, it was like -34.4 ℃ with wind chill or something. It was like three years ago so my memory is spotty.
