    Or sinks into the fresh water in the case of California next time there's a major flood in the central valley

    There's a lot of articles about how climate resilience the Great Lakes region is, but they're mostly trash.

    The precipitation that comes in the form of snow will increasingly be coming as rain, massively increasing floods.

      That's not an issue that's unique to the great lakes region and if anything all the interconnected water bodies and especially the wetlands make the area better suited than anywhere else in the country. Also I'll take "too much water" over "no water" 10 times put of 10.

      Same with a map of days over 100 degrees, seems pretty bad that they have that many days untill you check how many basically anywhere else is forecast to have.

      Although I know some of the Midwest bordering great lake states have a harder time with high Temps in the summer than more coastal climates in the northeast.
