Introduce me to wisconsin?

[hyperdeficit]

Hey guys,
I am about to become one of you! I am moving to WI in a month. I will be living right next to MATC milwaukee. does anybody live near that area.

I tried to find a WI vapers club but I couldnt find one. is there a group?

Do you guys have meetups? I love texas, but i havent been able to make it to any meetups because texas is such a big state and everybody lives so far apart. it seems like there are a lot more vapers in wisonsin closer together considering one out of every ten screenames has WI for the location.

Thanks guys!

Well, MATC is in a rougher area of downtown, but it's also right next to the courthouse and police department, so it's not the worst, lol! What street will you be on? (My son is currently at MATC, too!)

Milwaukee (and Wisconsin) is a great place to live. The winters are a challenge sometimes, but we live spring/summer/fall for everything it's worth! Great lakefront, festivals, parks, lakes, rivers, concerts, fairs - there is always so much to do!! And every client I've had transfer in from other places comment how nice everyone is. I love living here!

I didn't know there was a meetup in January, Angjen! I have to check that forum more often!

im really nervous about the winter because i am from texas and it is 35 degrees here. I know to expect about -10 degrees there, any advice for me on how to survive the winter? i heard to wear long john underwear with jeans, is that gonna keep me warm enough? and then for shirts a longjohn shirt, longsleeve shirt, then big jacket with hood gloves thermal socks and a beanie cap or something. will that keep me warm?

I sent a invite request but no answer yet hopefully soon.

do you know when the january meetup is? i wont be in WI till about the middle of january

 

[hyperdeficit]

I dont know what street. I wil be living with my uncle. he lives close to a culvers restaraunt and 2 minutes away from a blockbuster. in the other direction is a dairyqueen with a barn style roof and a sack and save and then there is a school with tennis courts close by. thats as far as i know about location

How much will you be outside? That can really make a huge difference.

I'm not generally outside more than a few minutes at a time and I wear a good down coat with a hood, a warm toboggan and gloves, and warm boots. I personally like the fingerless ones with a flip back mitten to cover them. I don't find that I need more than jeans and whatever shirt I grab from the closet like this. Most of the time (10-30 degrees) I just wear the coat and flip up my hood if necessary, but if it's much colder, I wear it all.

If you're going to be outside a lot like while hunting or fishing, you'd definitely need to protect your legs and face much more so and getting some hand and foot warmers would be a good idea.

My guess is that the first winter will be bad for you, especially if you move here during the middle of winter, but after a winter or two, it won't seem nearly as bad.

what is a tobagin? i will probably be outside ten minutes at a time, parking my car and walking inside the classroom and all that stuff. maybe go on a walk for fun to look at the pretty winter scenery.

so it is 10-30 degrees? that isnt too bad i was expecting - 10. i dotn know why.

i cant find any long john underwear here so i guess i will have to buy it there.

are the houses warm? I wont be freezing or anything when i am trying to sleep right? i like to sleep in boxers and a tank top will i be able to do that?

 

[Scottbee]

My God man.. this is Wisconsin.. not Antarctica! Yes.. we've got heat, and running water, and indoor plumbing, and all that hi-tech new-fangled stuff!!! ;-)

 

[hyperdeficit]

haha sorry guys. I am not trying to make you sound barbaric or anything lol.

I have just never had a real "winter" before. just the other day it was 50 degrees. coldest it has been this year was 27.

 

[angjen0816]

it doesn't get as cold in WI as it does in IL. They get the lake effect and end up with ice storms!! we mostly just get a lot of snow, average temp in mid 20s to 30s. right now we are suppose to get getting about a foot of snow where i live

Sounds to me like your closer to Shorewood or Whitefish Bay by that description - I think the closest Culver's (that is also near a Dairy Queen) to MATC is in Shorewood - very nice communities.

This Dairy Queen?

January is a great time to come to WI. Haha, we are having a pretty wicked snow storm right now 12-15 inches!! It does get cold as hell sometimes, but I wouldn't worry about it too much. Winter can be a great time to be here. I would recommend getting out to enjoy its unique benefits - skiing, snowboarding, skating, sledding, ect. Besides the winter, WI is a truly beautiful state to be outside summer and fall. I think you'll enjoy your time here.

just found the dairy queen it is on north chicago avenue. I just remembered my uncle saying he lived in south milwaukee

Yeah yeah, that does sound like Shorewood on Capital Dr. Haha, I actually live in Shorewood. It's a great community and plenty safe. Plus, it's real close to alot of attractions; the lake, Summerfest, downtown, eastside.
