What April feels like

April is the bottom of the visitor year — the ski trails are finished, the orchards are bare, and tasting rooms keep short hours. If you come anyway you will have the Sleeping Bear overlooks to yourself, though Pierce Stocking Drive may still be gated.

Winter is doing its thing: 4.7 in of snow in a typical April, with fresh snow on about 3 days. about 19 nights dip below freezing.
