You often switch from "heat" to "A/C" in the same day and back again.

 

Your whole family wears Packer Green to church on Sunday.

 

You can drive 65 mph through 2 feet of snow during a raging blizzard, without flinching.

 

You see people wearing camouflage at social events (including weddings and funerals ).

 

You install security lights on your house and garage and leave both unlocked.

 

You think of the major food groups as beer, more beer,fish and venison.

 

You carry jumper cables in your car and your wife or girlfriend knows how to use them.

There are 7 empty cars running in the parking lot at Mill's Fleet Farm at any given time.

 

You design your kid's Halloween costume to fit over a snowsuit.

Driving is better in the winter because the potholes are filled with snow.

 

You refer to the Packers as "we."

 

You know all 4 s easons: almost winter, winter, still winter and road construction.

 

You can identify a southern or eastern accent.

 

You have no problem pronouncing Lac Du Flambeau.

 

You consider Minneapolis exotic.

 

You know how to polka.

 

Your idea of creative landscaping is a statue of a deer next to your blue spruce.

 

You were unaware that there is a legal drinking age.

 

Down South to you means Illinois.

 

A brat is something you eat.

 

Your neighbor throws a party to celebrate his new pole shed.

 

You go out to a fish fry every Friday night.

 

Your 4th of July picnic was moved indoors due to frost.

 

You have more miles on your snow blower than your car.

 

You find minus twenty degrees "a little chilly."

Doesn't apply to me any more since I'm over 21 now, but this one is 100% accurate:

 

You were unaware that there is a legal drinking age.

Being from illinois here, friends are always saying the three best things from Wisconsin is cheese, firecrackers and porn. Traveling up the highway to Wi with all the cheese, firecracker and porn stores that are up there off the expressway!!

[Z71kris]

That's my stretch of road on I94.

 

The state needs to create a special route for IL plates when coming up here to spend money; that way you guys are not screwing up the rest of traffic around here

 

It's funny because everytime I see some get cut off, jolt across two lanes of traffic, make an illegal turn, or just turn out in front of someone it is 95% of the time an IL plate. I have to deal with IL crappy traffic every week day going to work, now I have to wage that battle on my home turf on the weekends

+1!! Visited the Univ of Wisconsin in Madison years ago, had several brewskis at the student union out on the back deck overlooking the lake... that is something you can't do down here in the "Bible belt".
