Sunny. Highs around 60...except in the mid 50s near the lake. Northeast winds 10 to 15 mph. Gusts up to 30 mph early in the morning...especially near the lake.
I can answer that one Justin. Having lived in Chicago (Chicago, not the 'burbs) for 10 years, and now in Wisconsin for 11. 1) Sales tax. No tax on groceries in Wisconsin. 2) Food prices. I don't have a % number, but all food is MUCH cheaper in Wisconsin. This morning I bought: $2.09 for a gallon of 2% milk. $1.09 for a dozen eggs. 3) Pleasant surroundings and people - no comparison really, being polite here. 4) The Farmer's Markets in Wisconsin are phenomemal AND affordable. I say this as a BEARS fan and I'm in Chicago once or twice a month on business. No Chicago hating here. But have you tried New Glarius Spotted Cow? OMG!
