rather than say
'fall to single digits (°F) and climb to the upper 20s (freezing point) by afternoon. Very low temperatures (below freezing)'
perhaps make that <>

the example of a very low Temperature was 15 January,2009 (-22 C)
I also have problems with the wording of
'Spring and Autumn are in between, usually around the 50s or 60s (10-16°C). Precipitation during all seasons is moderate.'
1. those are normal highs for the day not average temperatures.
2. lumping all precipitation into one word seems abrupt.
It would be better to say spring rains occur in April. Heaviest snow is in January. Summer can be wet or dry.

that still sounds wiki-ish
maybe: You are most likely to need a raincoat in March,April,or October, and hardly ever see any deep snow.

What do you think of the new picture on the original entry, folks? A134786
It is replacing this blob: <./>B73056</.>
I propose that this new picture should be added to the Update instead of the generic "chemicals" picture that is on it now.

That picture of the lower Peninsula is so warped as to be almost unrecognizable .
You Show Saginaw Bay but not the Cities of Bay City, Saginaw or Pontiac
and you make it look like Detroit is landlocked when in fact it it a seaport on the route between Cleveland and Chicago.
I am sure you mean well, but it just doesn't work.

(see end of article in Brunel)I ran across that map doing Oklahoma. Something similar might be useful in other geographical entries.

I'm not particularly looking for a map - I'm looking for something to replace the existing picture.

Anyway, until someone else draws a better one, I propose that we use my new picture, which is on the original Entry.

Incidentally, if you do want to make a new picture, it must be 200 x 200 including a single pixel wide black border, should be stored as a JPG and be less than 20K in size. It must be all your own work, not cut and pasted from someone else's picture.

Thanks for the reminder, I knew all that but someone else reading this might not. I do not plan to submit a drawing.
My wife says years ago she went on the tridge which is a bridge with three ends.
