ckmommy Posted November 3, 2006 Posted November 3, 2006 We moved to Houston five years ago and my blood has thinned, but my BF shopping is in full gear. We are going to Racine, Wi--my hometown--for Thanksgiving. I have not done BF shopping there before and have forgotten how cold WI is. Can anyone prepare me?? Will Walmart let people in (is it a 24 hour Walmart) so we can be warm hovering around the pallets?? I am going to miss my 70 degree wait in lines!!! I actually told my husband to make sure the return flight was in the afternoon on Friday so I could get to the sales!! Wish me luck--maybe I'll see a few of you around. I have seen a couple people's location being Racine.
nick_jenni_jocelyn Posted November 3, 2006 Posted November 3, 2006 Southerns will freeze to death in Wisconsin.i second that. i was born and raised in michigan and spent 5 years in missouri where it still gets cold, but not as cold as MI does. I have been here in alabama 1 year and it was between 55-60 a couple days ago and i thought i was going to freeze to death, lol. so my guess is, being a former yankee myself, its going to be COLD. lol
Ripn Posted November 3, 2006 Posted November 3, 2006 I just saw the avg temps for SE WI on the news for the month of November. The highs drop from 51 avg to 39 avg Nov 1 to Nov 30. I can't recall the exact low temps, but obviously they will be cooler :) Bundle up!!!
stationchief Posted November 3, 2006 Posted November 3, 2006 weather.com is a good place to bookmark for weather reports from just about anywhere. They even give month-long reports. The expected averages for Racine, WI on BF:Hi - 42°F Lo - 29°F (bundle up!) It's 23° degrees over there tonite? It's an icy 65° over here in Phoenix.
marywright1025 Posted November 3, 2006 Posted November 3, 2006 I can tell you it was a darn chilly 32 degrees today at 6 am just outside of Milwaukee.....

So you need to head to the north Chicago suburbs, where it will be about .1 degrees warmer.

So you need to head to the north Chicago suburbs, where it will be about .1 degrees warmer.Correct, last year walmart had a sub-$400 laptop and it was a sub-$600 laptop in wisconsin, in northern ILL it was sub-$500 near the boarder and stores a bit in was sub-$400 As for the temp, I've seen it be in the mid 40's and sunny to the teens with high winds.
melissanlar Posted November 3, 2006 Posted November 3, 2006 I'm here in Kenosha and the ads for BF in Il always have a lower price. Not on everything but the major electronics mostly. toys are about the same. The Walmart in Racine is 24 hour so you can wait inside. BB in Racine always has a huge crowd so if you go there you have to be early. Wear a warm jacket it's always cold here.Cover your ears well.
mrn8 Posted November 3, 2006 Posted November 3, 2006 It's 19 degrees here in Sunny Racine, this morning. We had snow flurries yesterday afternoon. Bring your warm clothes.
bethc24 Posted November 3, 2006 Posted November 3, 2006 Looks like there's a few of us from Racine...last year was brutal, this year is probably going to be just as bad...bundle up. CC and BB are the worst as far as crowds and having to get there early.
Grants Dad Posted November 3, 2006 Posted November 3, 2006 42 degrees.... that's still golfing weather in northern Minnesota ;-)
johjstc Posted November 3, 2006 Posted November 3, 2006 This is what it is now. I don't know what it's going to be on BF. Probably a lot colder. Rhode Island Sunny 43°F Feels Like: 36°F Humidity: 47% Wind: NW 15 mph gusting to 19 mph
mrn8 Posted November 3, 2006 Posted November 3, 2006 42 degrees.... that's still golfing weather in northern Minnesota ;-)Same here. Some of our courses stay open until they are covered in snow. There are a couple that are open year-round, so if you feel that you can play them, you have that option.
