York is located in the Northeastern part of England.
England is in the GMT zone which stands for Greenwich Mean Time. Greenwich, England is located on the Prime Meridian. All time zones are relative to GMT, for example Holland, MI is a part of the Eastern Time zone which is GMT-5 hours. Living in England for the past couple of months we have had to adjust to the time difference, initially with our sleeping schedules, but also when considering when we will contact out family and friends back home.
Although York is significantly North of Holland, MI the climate during this time of year is more mild than Michigan due to England's temperate climate. Over the last few weeks the temperature here has been in the 50's (speaking in Fahrenheit). It does not snow every winter and when it does, we are told that everything shuts down because the cities are unprepared for these "extreme" conditions. Quite a contrast to Michigan! We've been enjoying the nice fall weather and hoping that it will stay for the next few weeks.
