Wisconsin
Well,
It was 60 degrees on wednesday, and it snowed 2 feet today. Just and FYI, if you move to Wisconsin, be prepared for the wierdest weather possible.
Any of you get some snow?

Ahhhhhhhh. Santa Monica, CA - average in the low 70's all year long - no humidity, cool Pacific ocean breeze and little rain. So nice.

Re: Wisconsin
Yeah, Wisconsin is bad, but Milwaukee is the worst. Imagine three days at 0 fahrenheit with 15-20 mile an hour winds non-stop. That was life at my corner of the 5th precinct in M. last Thanksgiving. Hopefully the current cold front will forego the wind sh4t-storm from last year.
This is the first place I've ever lived that forced me to think seriously about what material my jacket is made out of, and whether I need to put a outer windproof shell around a down jacket. The only, ONLY, redeeming factor of all this is that it makes being at the bar much much more comfy, and it drives me to drink Scotch, Laphroaig for anyone who cares. Behold my new love:

The other good thing about this absurd weather is that I can rant about it online.

Re: Wisconsin
Central Valley CA. Smells like cow dung and onions, foggy in the morning, sunny, crisp and chilly all day, then more cow dung and onions, along w/smog from the rest of the state looming over our great valley. cheers...

Re: Wisconsin
Snowed here, but nothing bad. People were freaking out and a couple hundred schools closed. But it was just regular old Michigan weather. Warm --> Snow in a day.

Re: Wisconsin
Boulder, CO. 65 degrees at noon on tuesday. By 5:00, it's 25 degrees and snowing. We got 21 inches between tuesday and thursday. Supposed to snow again tonight.
Talk about strange weather, boulder sits directly at the east face of the rockies. The weather can change 25-30 degrees in an hour or so. Many times when I was in college I went to class in jeans and a tee shirt to clear skies and came out an hour and a half later to freezing temperatures and blinding snow.

Re: Wisconsin
Yeah, I'm living in Williams Village dorms right now, and it sucks waiting for the bus after my afternoon classes. When I go to class it's around 40-50, but by sunset I'm freezing my ass off.

Re: Wisconsin
I got 9 inches here (fnarr) -- I moved to Chicago to get snow, so I'm pretty satisfied. Yesterday I think the high was mid-50s, so not quite as crazy as Wisconsin, but close.

Re: Wisconsin
It been raining pretty heavily on and off for the past few days in Scotland. It's really windy too.
We had a light sprinkling of snow last week though.
