Hoping warm weather would hold through Columbus Day weekend but recent runs showing first real cold push of the fall season. Will be in Door County and hoping for decent temps for golf and hiking.

Who says it only rains in Calumet City

Fall never starts Labor Day week.  At least in southern WI.

Seems first strong cool down/front (although usually transient) occurs mid to 3rd week of September. First taste of fall stuff.

While things look to improve overall, it also appears as though it will be a bumpy road for the beginning 1/3rd and middle 1/3rd of May (Especially the latter).

Probably should keep expectations in check.

My expectations are you should be able to put plants in the ground and not worry about mid to upper 20s revisiting. The days of low 40s and rain are hopefully done but still expect rain and low 50s. More days in the 60s and 70s but full time shorts temps not till after Memorial Day.

Looking to plant some stuff by next weekend. 

Switch will flip from 50s-60's to 70s-80's last week in May. Memorial day weekend marks the general period we start to have summer like pleasant weather. That lasts about 3 weeks till late June when 1st heat waves usually show up.Heat backs off and turns pleasant again in September.  Then first true fall cold front comes around  third week of September as a reminder that summer is on its last legs. Nice fall temps till around Halloween then the inevitable decline into the predominant 40s or lower from Nov till the following April. 

More snow this morning. Need to move Xmas to late April or early May

Up near Volo in Lake County after skies cleared a bit. Also one taken in Richmond IL

Snowing here

That would be a bitch. Get one of those strong cold fronts in early August and drop temps into the mid 60s. I remember as a kid we had a beach day and I told my family it’s going to be chilly. They didn’t listen to me and it was only a high of 67 for that day. Was the first week of August 

That does happen but I was referring to relief from hot spells in the 90s with high humidity and 70+dewpoints. We frequently drop back into the 80s or even upper 70s with lower humidity whereas areas further south like St. Louis the front never really gets there. Also spared the intense heat waves most years that TX and the SE endure 

This weekend's(most of next week also) spring weather is payment due to actually have cold fronts make it through our area in the summer. 

Planting season so close

July 1995 is one of those rare weather months that stands out in my memory. At the time we lived in a house with two window A/C units, one in the living room and one in my parents' bedroom which they didn't like to use because they didn't trust the wiring up there (1920's house with one two-prong outlet per bedroom, except the master which had two, my dad upgraded all the wiring on the first floor but never got around to the second before we moved out). I don't think nine-year-old me wore a shirt outside of school all month. Fans going full blast in every room and almost nightly thunderstorms. Good times.

Was camping at Mirror Lake State Park during that heat wave. We went to bars in the Dells every night for the air conditioning.

First firepit of the season. Definitely heralds the arrival of Spring!!
