I'm going to be moving to Grand Rapids, MI just before Christmas next month and wanted to get an idea of what I'm in for as far as the training environment is concerned. I'm not really sure what to ask, but I only lived in Texas and I'm just beginning my aviation journey with about 20 hours so far.
My main worry is there isn't going to be a lot of days when I'll be able to fly because of snow, wind, or icing conditions.
Can anyone tell me about the weather around that part of the country and if people take breaks during that time? I've watched a couple youtube videos and saw some various issues with getting the plane out of the hanger due to ice freezing the door seal to the ground and having to flip on engine and cab heaters before you go there but is there anything else that I need to be thinking of?
My school is going to be right by Lake Michigan (Muskegon) if there is some local weather to keep in mind too.
Thanks.
