Neither Stockholm nor NYC have a winter anything like what parts of Michigan get - both are relatively temperate, coastal cities. Michigan is pretty much Canada!

"Parts of Michigan" is disingenuous because we are specifically talking about Novi, MI which is in SE Michigan rather than places like (e.g.) Houghton, MI.

Detroit is literally north of Canada.

Not true - December, January, and February are colder, on average, in Detroit.

In January, for example, Stockholm's average daily temp is -2.8C(27F) while Detroit's is -5.1C(23F).

Outside of the winter months, the rest of the year is warmer in Detroit.
