You can expect warm to hot temperatures in the summer months while the winter months bring lots of cold temperatures and windy weather. If you are planning a winter vacation in this area make sure that you pack clothing that will keep you warm because the temperatures can reach as low as eighteen degrees Fahrenheit and sometimes colder. Most tourists venture to Canada for theskiing possibilities throughout the area. You can rent a luxurious log cabin that boasts a wood fireplace. This can be used as your private getaway from the crowds of people and the cold, windy weather.
