Here is a cheery thought for you.

The first time my DW and I camped in the "UPPER" it was 1974. We had our first son and I worked at Cat, so we only had two weeks off in late July. So we head up to the "UPPER" to go off roading and camping in a 12'X12' tent.
The first night we were there my DW woke me up and said I think it is a little cold tonight. Do you think we should put "ERIC" between us in the sleeping bags to keep him warm. I said yes that would be alright. When I woke up that morning we had frost in the tent. Turns out that the Upper Peninsula of Michigan had a hard freeze that night. I had to scrap frost off of the windows on the Jeep, nighttime temps were in the high 20's to low 30's that year.
Winter is never far away in the "UPPER"
