wisconsinwx Posted September 5, 2014 Share Posted September 5, 2014 Lafayette may still have an outside shot at 90F. If they don't hit it, it's likely they will be in the elite company of Duluth and Milwaukee (among a few other decent-sized cities in the Midwest I believe) of failing to hit 90F this summer.

Stebo Posted September 5, 2014 Share Posted September 5, 2014 I really like our chances here locally.
