Proximity to Lake Michigan brings intense lake effect snow and brutal wind chill from "The Hawk." Can drop 4-7 inches rapidly. East-west streets particularly exposed to wind tunnel effect. Salt damage to paws common - rinse after walks. Lakefront paths may be icy; stick to residential streets during storms.
