Interesting! I didn't know that about Michigan vs. Wisconsin spring/autumn. I thought it seemed like lows were a little high for this time of year.
This part of western Wisconsin (and parts of Iowa and Minnesota) is known as the Driftless Area. From what I understand, many of the glaciers that flattened out the rest of the Upper Midwest missed this area. So, unlike other parts of Wisconsin that are familiar to most people (Madison, Milwaukee), there are actually large hills/bluffs all around the region.
I never knew this, actually, until I came here on an interview. It was surprising to land in Wisconsin and see what appeared to be little mountains.
