Partly cloudy. Patchy fog after midnight. Lows in the upper 50s to lower 60s. East winds around 10 mph in the evening becoming light and variable after midnight.
I can answer that one Justin. Having lived in Chicago (Chicago, not the 'burbs) for 10 years, and now in Wisconsin for 11. 1) Sales tax. No tax on groceries in Wisconsin. 2) Food prices. I don't have a % number, but all food is MUCH cheaper in Wisconsin. This morning I bought: $2.09 for a gallon of 2% milk. $1.09 for a dozen eggs. 3) Pleasant surroundings and people - no comparison really, being polite here. 4) The Farmer's Markets in Wisconsin are phenomemal AND affordable. I say this as a BEARS fan and I'm in Chicago once or twice a month on business. No Chicago hating here. But have you tried New Glarius Spotted Cow? OMG!
