One of my favorite things about hockey intermissions is how low tech replacing the net is.
Too much water in the post holes from the zambonis? Here, use a turkey baster.

Busy weather map this morning as rain and snow continue across Wisconsin and the winds are getting ready to pick up.
Wind gusts of 30-40 miles per hour will be common across the state today, and closer to the Illinois border, we could see gusts of 40-50 miles per hour.
Hold onto your hats!

I don't think there's anything wrong with using a question as the title of your paper. But I'm biased.

Lightening?
Positives aren’t necessarily stronger than negatives, but can be.
It’s going to be a long lightning season.

As suspected, this measurement was incorrect.
This was a Davis weather station that was reporting wind over 130 miles per hour for 5 hours.

Take this measurement with not just a grain of salt…but the whole salt block.
There’s no ULM mesonet station here. No AWOS. No ASOS. No RAWS. PWS? Maybe?
A rotation couplet shows up south of here, but nothing to indicate 132 mph winds.
This LSR shouldn’t have been released.
