Actually, sometimes, yeah. This past summer was the coldest we've had in 15 years, but it does get hot and humid, here, too. Though probably not as bad as it gets where you are.

Interesting random facts:

[quote]The average annual temperature varies from 39 F in the north to about 50 F in the south. The highest temperature ever recorded in Wisconsin was 114 F at Wisconsin Dells on July 13, 1936, and the lowest temperature on record was minus 55 F, reported from Couderay on both February 2 and February 4, 1996.

During more than one-half of the winters, temperatures fall to minus 40 F or lower, and almost every winter temperatures of minus 30 or colder are reported from northern stations. Summer temperatures above 90 average 2 to 4 days in northern counties and about 14 days in southern districts. During marked cool outbreaks in summer months, the central lowlands occasionally report freezing temperatures.

The freeze-free season ranges from around 80 days per year in the upper northeast and north-central lowlands to about 180 days in the Milwaukee area. The pronounced moderating effect of Lake Michigan is well illustrated by the fact that the growing season of 140 to 150 days along the east-central coastal area is of the same duration as in the southwestern Wisconsin valleys. The short growing season in the central portion of the State is attributed to a number of factors, among them an inward cold air drainage and the low heating capacities of the peat and sandy soils. [b]The average date of last spring freeze ranges from early May along the Lake Michigan coastal area and southern counties to early June in the northernmost counties. The first autumn freezes occur in late August and early September in the northern and central lowlands to Mid-October along the Lake Michigan coastline. However, a July freeze is not entirely unusual in the north and central Wisconsin lowlands.[/b] [/quote]

It's cold around here sometimes. :P
