When we drove to the top of Cadillac Mt., you could hardly see across
the parking lot. Only a slight drizzle at the time.

The one time I've been there in summer it was mostly warm-hot and muggy.
The mosquitos on one beach were tiny, but numerous and fierce, and
chased us elsewhere. We've had our share of rainy days in the fall
there, but about the only fog we've hit was a super foggy day on the
Port Clyde peninsula. It was actually kinda nice - for a day.

You can tell summer's starting here, 'cause there's been low overcast
for a few days. Hardly any skeeters ever here.
