Yep, it will be chilly in the AM. And that's why we have leathers. A nice jacket, maybe a sweatshirt underneath, some gloves, and any "real" Wisconsinite will be just fine.

Plus, the big advantage to it being chilly and wearing leathers, is the the other internet hard-asses can't say we aren't wearing enough protective clothing

I don't mind the blazing hot temperatures. I was out and about on harley the last two days since they were my days off. Loved it. With the low temperatures i tend to get crps and Charlie horses.

If it doesn't rain buckets like it usually does, I won't know how to act...

That has to be some of the nicest country in the US. I plan to retire close to there in a few years...

Wow, most of us around here retire and move down south! While its great country, it's also cold country.

Is just me, or are the numbers down significantly from prior years?

My wife's family lives in Stevens Point. Tomahawk is just close enough to not be too close...I don't mind the cold either. I lived in Minot North Dakota when I was younger. Point is warm in comparison...

Just got home from there. Some rainy weather is moving in, and calling for frost in some areas. It looks like the rain would be following us all the way if we had stayed until Sunday morning. And yes...It didn't seem as busy this year.

+2 on numbers being down, sure seemed thin. Just got home ourselves, left Lake Nokomis / Bubba's around 10:30. Rained steady all night but actually cleared up shortly before we left- most roads were pretty dry, Lucked out there!
