Wouldn't want to be too far from a bigger town/city though, so actually your type of situation would be pretty ideal for me. Watching the shelf clouds roll in from the west is something I never get tired of. You make sacrifices living in a rural area, don’t get the best WiFi and sometimes even cellular data can slow down quite a bit. Im literally 5 miles south of Champaign, I can see the State Farm center from my house (where U of I men’s basketball play) and multiple big name musicians come to play. It’s kinda crazy when you leave the U of I campus and head south, within about 3 miles you’re in nothing but cornfields. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most homes up here don't have built-in AC. Last year I rarely even used the window AC, because even when it was warm, it wasn't too humid. Crazy to think 6 days ago it was 37 and I was contemplating a fire in the stove. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I imagine it smells awesome outside with all of the firs pines and other evergreens around. I noticed the air around here had that "christmas tree scent" to it last night because it was so humid Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cyclone77 Posted July 1, 2018 Share Posted July 1, 2018 Storm basically blew up right on top of us. Was pretty fun to watch. Picked up 0.26" in a nice, albeit brief heavy downpour. Quite a bit of thunder still ongoing, as areas just east are getting pounded atm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

madwx Posted July 2, 2018 Share Posted July 2, 2018 The last time Madison had a June monthly average low temperature below the 1981-2010 average was in 2006. In addition, it has only occurred 4 times in the past 20 years. Just another example of how warming and increased dews from evapotranspiration have combined to increase low temps in the Midwest.
