Wisconsin weather is no joke! -20’s this week but will be back up into the 40’s this weekend apparently. Husband and I just moved from south central WI down to Texas. We received constant updates from our families on how miserably cold it has been up there lately. I miss the changing of the seasons (fall is absolutely BEAUTIFUL where we’re originally from) but the freezing cold temperatures?? No thanks!
Thursday: 5:00 pm, 65°F, high of 68°F today, humidity 49%, wind SE @ 11mph, cloudy.

Two people have had to be rescued after their vehicle became stuck in floodwater.
Two teachers have been rescued after they were swept away by floodwaters and stranded for hours in Western Australia's remote Pilbara.
Police said the 56-year-old man and 50-year-old woman were trying to cross a river outside Jigalong, more than 1,300 kilometres north-east of Perth, when their four-wheel drive was swamped by rising water.
Officers reached them downstream about an hour later, but the rapids had grown too dangerous to enter, with the pair having to climb onto the roof of their vehicle.
Ray Martin, the 73-year-old manager of Jigalong Remote Pool, was one of the first people at the scene.
He said police enlisted the help of a Newman-based helicopter company already ferrying maintenance crews to the community.
"We managed to get choppered across the creek … and then tried to actually throw both of them a line across," Mr Martin said.
After it became clear the water was moving too quickly for his friends to swim to safety, Mr Martin tossed the pair life jackets from the local pool.
"Neither of them were very good swimmers," he said.
Mr Martin coached the pair through a contingency plan in case they were washed away before another, larger helicopter could arrive.
"My philosophy has always been that if there's anybody in trouble, the first thing you do is you drop everything and you go and try and help," he said.
"I've been in surf-lifesaving for 60-odd years, it's just what we do."
Nearly three-and-a-half hours after the vehicle was submerged, a second helicopter equipped with a winch rescued the two teachers.
They were taken to the local medical clinic for assessment.
Both were uninjured and departed the community the following day by helicopter for the school holidays.
"Oh my word," Mr Martin said.
"It was a big relief."
Jigalong Police thanked members of the community for their help, and for providing life jackets and a drone during the rescue.
