I fly into Detroit Friday night
Friday Night: A chance of flurries. Mostly cloudy, with a low around -3.
What the ?
I say take a page from timvp's survival book: Flip-flops are best suited for snow, provided you wear them without socks.

Dude, you might as well nut up and get her a ring. Those plane tickets must be costing you a fortune!
Do married people fly free?
I'd be more worried about the crazies that live in Detroit more than a little frost on the window.
It is just weather and you of all people should understand that. Man up and grow a pair.
Be prepared for some serious, or in your case not so serious, shrinkage.
Manny your ed, even with your monkey coat you will freeze.
-3 isn't even with the wind chill dude.
5 bones says that you freeze your nuts off, literally. Just bring some t-shirts and some shorts and you will fit right in.
I don't miss that kind of weather at all but it is nothing when you live up there all the time.
This.
After awhile being here, you'll start having small talk with peeps you know about how "its a nice day out there" because its above 20 with no wind.
I had a manufacturing client in Wyoming that I'd go see every winter, and the weather would usually be in the single digits or low teens whenever I'd visit them. Whenever we'd go outside I'd be bundled up like an eskimo, and these guys would be wearing windbreakers...no gloves...no hats, and they'd be fine. Like clockwork they'd respond to my shivering frozen corpse with something like "yeah, seems cold, but you shoulda been here last week...THAT was cold."
I hate the cold.
I'm sure you'll be okay once you get settled in.

Who needs a refrigerator in MI? Drafty windows and snow in a cooler makes it all through the winter. That's green, baby!
My patio two nights ago:

I almost want to drive up there just to see the look on your face. Almost.
It's an odd thing when your nose hair freezes and your back spasms because of the cold.
Good luck with it.
I'd cancel your trip.
Normally I'd call a dude a pussy if he says he's cold.
-3? that I'd stay home.
The ed up thing is its going to seem warm when I'm in DC a few days later and its only in the 30s.
If I heard right (i dont pay attention to the weather report....at all), its supposed to get very cold here in Michigan next week.
As in, daily freezing. Dont know though.
Friday here is a HIGH of 7 degrees......7 ing degrees.
I grew up in New England and dealt with the winters pretty well. I spent years on the West Coast and then found myself back East for 2 years. It was horrible. When you're not used to that kind of cold it's much harder to deal with.
Hope you have a good time in spite of the cold Manny.
I call bull on that one I lived there half of my life and never ever had that convesation. Besides theres no such thing as a nice day in Detroit. Welcome to the suck Manny.
