Yes, Nicole, there is quite the “agri-culture” shock between The Mitten and mid-Illinois!
You’ll discover the summers are a bit sultrier; the winters a touch milder. You’ll feel a LOT more wind (no fence rows or rolling hills), but, in exchange, you’ll enjoy WAY more sunshine (no “charming” lake effect).
I’ve appreciated both places on their unique merits (though this Michigander is happy to be back home). Glad you are discovering these special moments!
