Think & Drink – Spectacular Science: Weather & Historic Meteorology of Northeast Wisconsin

Sudden summer severe storms and frigid, lake-effect blizzards…The weather of Northeast Wisconsin is as unpredictable as it is powerful. Why does our region experience such extreme, four-season swings, and how have historical weather events shaped our communities?
