This post is letting viewers know of a huge change coming to my blog with in the next two weeks, but before I do I’d like to explain what my blog has been about. I’d like to first say that I grew up right here in Western Wisconsin in the village of Clayton. I started this blog in 2008 after a friend of mine originally from Washburn,WI convinced me to start one. I formulated an idea that I wanted to create a weather forecast blog for the Western Wisconsin which released forecast from a person who knows the areas climate and the communities. I also dedicated multiple posts towards helping people in their gardens, and to my hometown events and some history, and Clayton’s 2009 100 year centennial which was very exciting! After I got into forecasting, I also began releasing small reports after storms had past my location, pretty soon I found myself reporting for the entire area after every storm, which I eventually found very useful because I, as well as other people could look back and see what the area got in past storms. Then I started getting people who also found the information very useful because they lived here or have cabins and they found the reports to help them find out what their area revived. So after awhile I began writing long and detailed reports after every storm. As the years went by I found many friends covering for nearby areas and even covering the same area, but all of us and my fellow blog owners worked together to provide full weather coverage, which covered much of the Upper Midwest! and especially covered Western Wisconsin in great detail.

Changes Ahead

Rochester,MN Skyline from Elton Hills.

Well it’s now quickly reached August and it is nearing the end of my time living in Western Wisconsin. As many of you know I am moving to Rochester,MN later this month so that I can peruse college so that I can reach lifelong goal of getting to work in the Horticulture Field, which many may be able to tell that I’ve been interested in my entire childhood and young adult years.

NW Wisconsin Weather blog schedule.

Even though I’m moving I still want to continue to have a weather blog, I have not decided fully what I want to do with Wisconsin Coverage, but at this time it is probably likely I will be much busier with college so I will likely end my blogs coverage in Western Wisconsin, but I would be moving my blog to cover Southeastern Minnesota, so over the next couple of weeks I will be slowly changing things to a southeastern Minnesota theme. I will try to aim to post forecast and reports just as I’ve done for Western Wisconsin. I will state right now that will not be deleting all my years of old posts that I made for Western Wisconsin, they will remain in tact. My blogs web address is for NW Wisconsin Weather, so for the first couple of weeks my blog address will remain the same but will eventually it is likely I will have to change it.

In the days ahead

I want to first let viewers know I will continue to cover the area to the end, I plan on keeping everything just as it is until just a day or two before the move out day, then by the 17th or 18th of August most changes will have likely take place. My move out date is August 15th so there will likely be a time when my blog is inactive for a few days because the move is over 100 miles.

Final post still ahead.

I also wanted to let viewers know there will be one final post which will single the end of Wisconsin Coverage and will likely be my last post from Western Wisconsin before my blogs moves coverage area. I also plan talk a bit about my coverages history and thanking viewers for there support, I will also talk about the my future new plans for my blog with new blog name!

Thanks
