I thought it was gonna be warm today, forecasted to be near 80. Morning bike ride was amazing by the lake felt like summer. It’s 45 and wind is just howling feels brutal in summer clothing

I’ve ditched masks and have had no issues so far since there is no longer a statewide mask mandate and nobody feels the need to waste time or lose a customer by confronting me about it.

I’ve thrown out all my masks, this is eradicated in my opinion, anybody that is high risk has been vaccinated so it’s no worse than a common cold now.

Early to mid May around Milwaukee, but by the lake sometimes still see bare trees into June.

I thought it’d be worse, but I’ve been able to do my usual outdoor activities biking and hiking with no issues. The cold has really hardened up the snow so I can ride more trails. Real test will be Sunday, 

-6, WC -24. Went on 15 mile ride, first hour I was able to stay completely warm, last half hour was agony felt like my toes were gonna fall off. 

Still at 1 here, waiting to go on a nice subzero bike ride.

It’s already too damn cold to do anything outside can’t believe it’s just gonna get worse.

Lol the snow piles are already huge I can’t imagine if we get another 6” followed by flash freeze. It’ll be fun digging out in subzero windchills 

Looks like at least a foot in downtown MKE

Aches, pains and a high grade fever(104).

that said, a fever that high is rare and was reported to VAERS. 

104? That’s absolutely insane, I’d be outraged. That’s dangerous. Worst flu I had I got to 104. Certainly not touching that vaccine.

Had to abandon bike snow deep. No Lyft either 

Biking downtown MKE this is amazing 

Lol at the hysteria. Meanwhile cases and hospitalizations continue to drop in WI, everything is open still.

If I can get 1/4” will be happy for my best so far this year 

Lol we in MKE got completely screwed, ground is bare, you go 5 miles west and it’s 4”+

3” I’ll take it and run.

Probably hit herd immunity here in Wisconsin. Vast majority of cases like mine not even as bad as a common cold. The media and folks begging for lockdowns are probably in for disappointing numbers next few days.

908 MB would shatter November record for strongest

Reminds me of 2010 and the insane hype. I guess all it takes is one like last year.

Yo @Scorpion I see you browsing. What’s up dude?

Total bust here, but at least I didn’t let myself get excited like Matthew and Irma. Was hoping at least for some hurricane force gusts that I could be on the beach for.  I would give anything to have been in Joshes position.

Absolutely ripping here in MKE, was not expecting this at all. Bike is my only transportation at the moment and the wind blowing over 30 mph and the fat flakes slapping my face makes it pretty tough. Thankfully it's relatively easy to ride through. Roads definitely getting accumulation though.

Went out with no sleeves for about 2 minutes, wind chill about -35, it’s so cold it feels hot.

Here at MKE the local news are calling for -23 and -55 wind chill, and -60 in Waukesha where I work. Those numbers just seem impossible that they’ll verify, I certainly don’t think my car would start or anything. We do have a really nice 8-10” fresh snow pack though that continues to build.. 

I don’t understand how Chicago with its massive UHI can approach -27 and Milwaukee cannot?
