They really understand and appreciate winter! :daffy:
You know you’re from Wisconsin if:

  • Your idea of a traffic jam is ten cars waiting to pass a tractor on the highway
  • You use a down comforter in the summer - and gloves.
  • You carry jumper cables in your car and your girlfriend knows how to use them.
  • You design your kid's Halloween costume to fit over a snowsuit.
  • You know all 4 seasons: almost winter, winter, still winter and road construction.Hey Riverc0il!)
  • You define summer as three months of bad sledding. (Hey Riverc0il again!)
  • Snow tires come standard on all your cars.
  • You know what cow-tipping is.
  • You don't have a coughing fit from one sip of Pabst Blue Ribbon.
  • You drink soda and refer to your dad as "pop".
  • You were unaware there is a legal drinking age.
  • You've seen mosquitoes with landing lights.
  • You have more miles on your snow blower than your car.
  • Your snow blower gets stuck on the roof. (It does happen)
  • You find 0 degrees a little chilly. (It's not that bad if you dress for it. I personally know two people who wear shorts when it's -10 F.)

LMAO !!
Sounds like here --

where ones idea of dressing up is putting on clean Carharts and a Trappers hat with fur earlaps.

where the big stud in town says at the local greasy spoon" jeezum crow ; ;that were nuthin -- it was 52 below at my place this mawnin"

where regular tires and cars of any sort are used only by outsiders.

where Poutine n' PBR are considered gourmet.

where Unless you were conceived in the town hall park, you are not considered a local regardless of the fact you may have been here 50 yrs!

where their are more deer vehicle accidents that vehicle to vehicle accidents.

where you can SMELL the fresh and 'err no so fresh country air and laff about it

where more than half the population ends every sentence with " eh" , It's a great day - EH !

How do you spell Canada : C- EH , N- EH , D - EH
:D:D:D

Delete the snow or cold related ones, and it would be Arkansas, especially if you added in "You've ever been up to your ass in mud and choking to death on the dust"

Are you really moving to WI, billski? If so, what'll become of the ski club?

Ok, that was a question.

Ask Warp or me about living in NNY. We are in the "flatlands" so-to speak, and everything in WI applies there. But, we're still only an hour from the hills. Kinda like Cheyenne.

And...was that an answer? And Cheyenne, as in Wyoming? Billski, please pass the bong.

I don't think this answers the question.

Are you really moving to Wisconsin billski?
