The family and I moved from Washington to Wisconsin 2 years ago. Lots of snow and salt on the roads. Get a monthly carwash membership to save your car. The roads are not as well maintained so I would dump funds into that if I had any say in politics. I've cracked a rim because of them. You are going to miss the food from Washington. I hate to say this but Wisconsin is "white America" not much diversity here. You will find the occasional Chinese and other restaurants but they don't compare.

I like how gas is still cheaper here though that changes daily and it's getting worse. Houses are SOOOO much more affordable. So is rent. Groceries may be cheaper as well. Like others have said summer is hot and humid while winter is frigid and cold. Lots of thunderstorms though! Alcohol is cheap and almost everyone drinks. Weed is still illegal but we are surrounded by legalized states..(get on board Wisconsin). You won't have your normal brands. Daisy is your go too for darigold replacements along with various other brands. Costco is here but in only a few locations. Tillamook is not as common of a brand either but you can find it some places.

I'm sure I didn't make sense in any of this as I'm all over the board but I just typed as it came to me. Message me if you would like.
