...if sunshine in the winter seems like an unusual occurence.
 
...if you answer "where are you from" by pointing to an area on your hand.
 
...if you think "East Coast" means Lake Michigan, and "West Coast" means
   Lake Erie.
 
...if you can discern differences in dialect between those two coasts.
 
...if you wake up to zero degree weather and are relieved it's so warm.
 
...if icy roads simply provide you with a faster way of making U turns.

Tee hee... I was having fun teasing a friend from Oregon.  I was trying to
show him where Ann Arbor was in relation to other places and automatically
started pointing to my hand.  He was totally baffled:  "Why do you all do
that?  Why does everyone from Michigan do that?  Do they teach you that in
elementary school or something?  What is it with this hand thing?"  Since
then I've been trying to show him where things were as much as possible,
just to tease him.  ;)  Weird how you take these things for granted...
