45? Our lows are higher than that. 45 is freaking freezing here. Scarves, jackets, and glove weather. 45? Brrrrrrr . . . .

If I didn't have a little boy to tote around, I'd be driving around with the windows down right now. The heat would probably be on, but I'd have that lovely brisk air rushing in the car.

It has to be below zero for me to put a hat on. I like my scarf, so it comes out at around 30. Gloves, probably 15. We enjoy weather like this up here. Winter is about 11 months long (not really, lol) and summer about 1. Although, the past couple of years have been decent. The weather today is well above normal.

yeah chilly day down here. Only in the 70s. I almost slept with my patio door open last night, but I am trying to fight off a cold.

Climate
Average January high/low temperatures: 26°F/11°F (-3°C/-12°C)
Average July high/low temperatures: 79°F/62°F (26°C/17°C)
Milwaukee's proximity to Lake Michigan causes a convection current to form mid-afternoon, resulting in the so-called lake effect, causing the temperatures to be warmer in the winter, and cooler in the summer ("cooler by the lake" is practically boilerplate language for local meteorologists during the summer). Also, the relative humidity in the summer is far higher than that of comparable cities at the same latitude, meaning that it feels hotter than it really is.

Milwaukee's all-time record high temperature is 105°F (41°C) set on July 17, 1995. The coldest temperature ever experienced by the city was -26°F (-32°C) on both January 17, 1982 and February 4, 1996. The 1982 event, also known as Cold Sunday, featured temperatures as low as -40°F (-40°C) in some of the suburbs as little as 10 miles (16km) to the north of Milwaukee, although the city itself did not approach such cold temperatures.
Just to give you an idea of my life.

Yesterday we had a high of 44 in Detroit. I walked out to the mailbox in the sunshine, wearing just a sweater, and thought, "Damn! Spring is here!"

It's going to be 80+ this week in South Carolina.

Poor northerners and their 40 degree Springs.

Amen! I think you are about 10 degrees warmer than we are on average. I like spring and fall. I'd be really unhappy if it was 80 all the time.

Out here in Northern California it's been a chilly 50-55 most of the winter. Now it's inching its way up. We've made it to 60ish the last couple weeks but with rain. I don't know how I'll handle it being less than 70 for much longer!!! And our summers... man, it gets way too hot! I don't know how I've made it through almost 30 years of 85-90 degree weather with 10-20% humidity!!! It's unbearable!!!
