Visiting Wisconsin

[NWP]

I am in Wisconsin and saw a sign in someone's yard today advertising sawing and milling services.  I was on Hwy 29 a few miles outside of Kewaunee WI. I was just wondering if it was anybody from on the FF. It looked like a nice setup. I was on business with a group of people so I couldn't stop.

[drobertson]

Man you are up there, pretty country aye?, I've made a few trips to wi, but in the kenosha area, really love wisconsin, can't help, except I hope your bussiness folks like to fish, if so take time to stop for that! david

there's a lot of smaller bandmills around.  kewaunee sounds familiar but i think that i'm remembering stumpy over in pewaukee.  too many kee's and ee's.   :D :D  hope you enjoyed your visit today was nice and warm but really blustery.   8)

If your in Keewanee  you are in the heart of cow country USA.  No matter what anyone says!   You will find many and i mean many sawmills in the area.. Not big mills like wausau, but farmers and hobbie saws, Not to many on the FF.  You picked the nicest week of the year so far 90 degrees today?? was 30's and 40's all spring   YUP always  right into summer                 Lazerdan

You picked the nicest week of the year so far 90 degrees today

Don't know offhand where Lazerdan is, but to me 90 deg is NOT nice. Too DanG HOT today!!

NWP must be heading up into Door county.

I am up visiting the Pierce Mfg fire truck plant in Appleton. We are getting ready to purchase some new trucks. They build all their ladders for their aerial trucks in Kewaunee so we went up there to look at those. Pretty country.

[Axe Handle Hound]

Keewaunee is a pretty part of the state for sure.  beenthere mentioned it already, but if you get a few free hours take a drive north up the peninsula and see Door County.  It's early and the weather could be pretty cool yet, but it's really a nice part of the state.

I was up in Dore County last summer and stayed in Sturgen Bay at a bed and breakfast.
Nice area

Benthere----Your wish for something other than 90 degrees is here right  now 36 degrees  :D  and another inch of snow with 5 to 10 on the way sometime tonight. ??? I don't like the hot weather either but right now I would take 120 degrees.  Have tapped into next winters wood  :(

[red oaks lumber]

barney, weve even tapped into next winters weather :D i heard on the radio 6-12" tonight thru tommorrow. who's complaining about "hot weather?

[beenthere]

Have tapped into next winters wood

I'd much much rather be burning some wood than running the air conditioner trying to get the house down below 85 deg so I can sleep.  ;D
Heading for MSP Friday, so look forward to cooler weather.

Got into Portage,Wi yesterday around 4:30pm 82 degrees. Now at 12:30 am waiting for my work call and it's 48 degrees.

[Gary_C]

This was just about two weeks ago. Taken just south of Superior, WI near Danbury.



  



 

My pickup is sitting there under the snow in the second picture. We got well over a foot of snow those two days and just north of Duluth/Superior they got 22 inches of snow in that storm.

Hope that makes you feel better Beenthere.

[red oaks lumber]

may 2nd? really we got 11" of snow so far and the temp. is at a balmy 28 deg. ;)

[Barney II]

Good Morning Red Oaks----That is about what I have here in Cable.  Our temp is about 31 degrees.  I hope you are right about  that drawing ahead for next year :D :D They are saying that this will keep up until 7 pm today. :

Kewaunee is way on the east side of Wisconsin as is Appleton.  Superior is way on the NW side of WI.  It was upper 80s on April 30th in the east side and low 70s on May 1st and today only the 50s as well as tomorrow before warming Saturday.  I'm not sure where the idea of snowstorms and sub freezing temps got associated with Kewaunee and Appleton as the temps can be vastly different depending what part of the state you are in. 

[millwright]

ROL and Barney II I'm glad the snow is staying down in your area, up near Superior here we dodged the bullet on this May 2 stuff by about 30 miles.

[red oaks lumber]

millwright,all winter  you guys were getting hammered with storms, each one seeemed like it was measured in feet not inches :D
my wife and i love running to duluth - superior every couple weeks just to poke around, thrift shops, the lake i guess that would make us tourists ;D

[schakey]

Was in Portage ,Wi and Thursday morning got called to do a St.Paul,Mn turn.Hit the snow storm on WI I94 got stuck behind a FedEX Freight at the west bound 35 mile marker waited 1 and 1/2 hours for tow truck.It took me 7 hours to run 251 miles.


 
We also have a terminal in Appleton,Wi I heard they got nothing over there.

[k7776s2001]

Not even close to snow over here in Appleton like you said.  Had about an inch of rain from thunderstorms and showers but back in the 70s again the last several days.
