Three days ago we had tornado watches and warnings and even one tornado near us.  Today it's snow that we're tracking. I am afraid that's just life in Wisconsin when Spring is here.

You know we've actually done very well this April for snow. We only got 0.2" so far and our average is 2.6.   However, late April is the time you expect the kind of weather we have had through much of the rest of the month so it's hard to take.  Especially since many in my neighborhood were mowing their lawns yesterday!

On the severe front, we did have a tornado on Friday.  Check out this map made by the Milwaukee/Sullivan office of the National Weather Service.



This is all just proof that Spring in Wisconsin can be unpredictable.

Please be extra aware of the weather this Spring because there is some preliminary research that active Springs can follow the type of Winter we had this year.  You may need to ramp up your awareness and if you can afford it, purchase a NOAA WEATHER RADIO.

Interesting. Concerning the active Springs, is there a scientific basis to that or is it a matter of correlation, not causation? I'm not a meterologist, but it would be interesting to find out.

A long, long, time ago in a farmers field far, far away, Rob noticed a change in the wind and became fascinated with the weather. Why you ask? (Pause for you to say "why?") Well, it was at that moment he realized he was downwind of the manure pile on the turkey farm where he grew up! After that he watched the weather very carefully in an effort to save his sense of smell! Okay, that's not entirely true but I did grow up on a turkey farm and I have been fascinated with weather and broadcasting for quite some time. I began my career in radio before making the jump to TV. I worked on Good Morning Toronto. After that, I decided to pursue my dream of living and working in the U.S. and joined Wake Up Rochester in Rochester NY. I spent three years in "Bills Country" before coming to my senses and moving to "Packer-Town!" (GO PACK!) I also spent some time trying to make it big as a comic actor and studied the art of improvisation at Toronto's Second City Theatre with teachers like SCTV's Joe Flaherty! I moved here with my beautiful wife, Tanya, who's the real comedian in the family, my son Noah, who's giving my wife a run for the title of funniest Haswell and my daughter Nyla who is the cutest 2 feet of human being you could ever meet! We're very excited to be living in the great city of Milwaukee and we're looking forward to learning all there is to know about Wisconsin! By the way, where do you buy those cheesehead hats anyway?
