We’ve already had our first couple of snow falls here in Wisconsin, and while they didn’t stick for most of the state, we know it won’t be too long until winter comes in full force. With icy winds and heaps of snow just around the corner, it’s never a bad idea to be prepared. Take […]

    On April 4, a sports columnist gave Ryan Braun a 90 percent chance of becoming an All-Star. Even winning the league’s MVP Award last season wasn’t enough to earn him a guaranteed spot in the Midsummer Classic’s lineup when the season opened. But three months later, he will be starting for the National […]

He’s a fast man. That’s the reason Evan Jager is competing in the Olympics and we’re not. But if this Olympian is a standard for speed due to his title as American record holder in the 3,000-meter steeplechase, we’re confident we can still beat him at one thing: installation time for replacement windows and doors.

If you weren’t paying close attention to your bank account, you might have missed the fact that you spent less on heating bills during the winter that wrapped recently. Perhaps the “extra” cash got spent on much-needed items along the way or you saved it for a Spring Break getaway. Either way, the second-warmest winter […]

Like much of the region, Wisconsin’s experienced a very unusual March as temperatures climbed to rarely seen levels for this time of year. In fact, the average temperature was 15 degrees higher than normal, thanks in part to days in the 70s and 80s in the second half of the month. Even if you weren’t […]

  The arrival of daylight savings time seems ideal this year. With warmer temperatures in place in the coming days, mentioning the word “spring” seems so amazingly relevant.

  On a day when high temperatures didn’t climb much above freezing in Wisconsin, summer tourism was on the mind of some people. Seriously.
