  • Look for something like snow boots. Generally all you really need is something that comes up a bit above the ankle so the snow doesn't come in the top and are waterproof. Spending longer out in the snow you might want to go with a boot with some kind of inner lining for warmth as well.

    For ice scrapers a cheap one will do just fine, usually they come with a brush on one end and a scraper on the other. I find that I have to scrape my windshield the majority of winter days to get rid of the small shell of ice that forms from dew on your car. If you have remote start or can start your car a bit before you have to leave the defrost can help you avoid this somewhat


  • Before you move probably look up Michigan Lefts and how to navigate them. When I moved here that was pretty confusing for me.

    When it comes to snow, winter tires can be a godsend, but as others have said the snowfall the past couple years has been pretty light. Something my parents did when they were younger is go to a big empty parking lot when it had snowed lightly to learn what sliding feels like and how to correct it YMMV with that method.

    Aside from that invest in a good coat, an ice scraper, and pair of winter shoes. When you have to travel in the winter bringing along an emergency blanket and any tools you might need to get unstuck, like sand or planks if you're extra. Hope you enjoy Michigan!
