This reminds me of working at the summer camp in reverse. Most of our summer staff was from Europe or AUS/NZL. Many of them were shocked when they got to Michigan in late May/early June that it was cold. Like frost in the morning cold. Not actually cold but anyway. They had this vision of "America" as the warm, sunny place they see in the movies and on TV.

Then, of course, a few weeks later they were wondering why it was so hot and humid. Part of the difference was living in the woods compared to the urban environment they were used to but a Continental Climate zone was not what they expected.

They also wouldn't believe how much snow we got right in the middle of a lake effect zone even when we showed them pictures of the cabins buried.
