Podcasts about Lake Effect

Today's Lake Effect show is all about local food and drink.

What's your go-to cocktail order? Well, if you're in Milwaukee or somewhere in Wisconsin, there's a good chance it's a brandy old-fashioned. But even where the old fashioned reigns, Milwaukee has a strong cocktail bar scene where you can get endless combinations of cocktails.  For cocktail writer and author Robert Simonson, Wisconsin has always held its own in the cocktail world – even when he moved away from home to be a writer in New York City for decades to cover cocktails.  Simonson recently returned home to Milwaukee where he will continue to write about food, drink, history and regional culture. To share more about his experience and how the Midwest compares to the East Coast in its cocktail culture, Simonson joins Lake Effect's Audrey Nowakowski.

Many Midwesterners have worn a pair of ice skates to hit the rink or a frozen pond in the winter. But have you ever tried a skating ribbon? It's essentially an ice skating trail in the woods and the first one opened up in Wisconsin last winter. It's called “The Glide” and it's at Boulder Junction Winter Park — an outdoor winter recreation area. And for this month's Wandering Wisconsin, we'll help you plan a trip there. Lake Effect's Becky Mortensen is joined by Mary Jones, the executive director of the Boulder Junction Chamber of Commerce and Amanda Weibel with Travel Wisconsin. 

You don't have to fly to Italy to see Olympic-level skiers. They're coming to Wisconsin this weekend. As the largest ski marathon in North America, the American Birkebeiner promises to attract over 10,000 people to Hayward Wisconsin for a celebration of cross country skiing. Starting tomorrow and running through Sunday, there are several races for kids, dogs, and yes, Olympic-level skiers. But the main race is where the action is, and it involves carrying a real-life infant for a portion of the course. A new baby is chosen every year. While this year's baby was not much of a talker, Lake Effect's Sam Woods caught up with 2010's baby and his parents. 16 years later, their story reveals a tapestry of love, living history, and a life of skiing. 

The library is more than just books, and our Books and Beyond series with Milwaukee Public Library showcases just that. We share resources, book recommendations, and some cool stuff you might not know about. For this edition of Books and Beyond, we're learning about an early literacy program called ABC Academy offered at the Central Library Branch. This program hopes to help fill Milwaukee's literacy gap. Since 2009, our public-school literacy rates have fallen, and just this year MPS launched a new plan to try to turn these rates around. The library's ABC Academy program is for young readers to help with kindergarten readiness. The program goes beyond your typical story time and focuses on different activities to help build on letter recognition.  To share more, Lake Effect's Audrey Nowakowski is joined by Central Library children's room librarian Erin Sloan and Milwaukee artist Wave Chapelle – who's here today as a dad helping his son learn to read.  

Milwaukee native Malik Johnson is a grammy-nominated cellist, composer and music producer. He recently added the title of Artist in Residence at Milwaukee's Betty Brinn Children's Museum.  Johnson became the museum's first artist-in-residence last year and returns to the role this year to continue connecting with children and families through music. He spoke with Lake Effect's Xcaret Nuñez about his work and the Betty Brinn artist-in-residence program.

There are many ways to observe and celebrate Black History Month, including a trip to the movie theater. Milwaukee Film curated a month-long lineup to recognize Black History Month. Ty Williams is the Black Lens Programmer for Milwaukee Film, and he handpicked a variety of films you can see on the big screen that reflect Black icons in fiction. They're all a part of the series “Afrofuturism: Fates Beyond Fiction.” Williams joins Lake Effect's Audrey Nowakowski to share more.

Wisconsin's population grew by 3.6% in the last census - but that data also shed light on another reality: the state's youth population is continuing to decline. It's been a trend that's played out slowly over the last two decades, but now that trend is accelerating - especially here in Milwaukee.  John Johnson is a research fellow at the Marquette Law School Lubar Center and he recently published data on Milwaukee's so-called “Baby Bust.” He joins Lake Effect's Joy Powers to talk about it and what the baby bust could mean for the city's future.   

According to Point-in-Time data, Milwaukee has been uniquely successful in preventing homelessness. Whereas rates of homelessness have increased nationwide over the last decade, they've declined in Milwaukee. Krystina Kohler is the impact manager for the Safe and Stable Homes Initiative at United Way of Greater Milwaukee and Waukesha County. United Way is the lead agency applying for federal funding for homeless services. Kohler joins Lake Effect's Sam Woods to discuss Milwaukee's approach to homeless services, success in getting people housed, and how new priorities in federal funding threaten to undermine that success.

Safety tips for this bitterly cold weekend. A new health report on Milwaukee. The final episode of our Live at Lake Effect series filmed at the Lake Effect Surf Shop.

A bitter cold snap is gripping southeast Wisconsin. Many of us are under an extreme cold warning or watch with temperatures creeping into the negative teens. Weather-related emergencies can happen at any time. That's why it's especially important to be prepared. Katie Rousonelos is the public information officer with Wisconsin Emergency Management. She joins Lake Effect's Sam Woods to share how to prepare for winter emergencies and how to stay safe during this cold snap. 

We examine Milwaukee's Health Assessment and how it could impact care. The final episode of our Live at Lake Effect series filmed at the Lake Effect Surf Shop. A new season of Bubbler Talk kicks off.

The Milano Cortina 2026 Winter Olympic Games are coming up in February. Athletes from across the globe will be performing together on the highest platform their sport can reach. It's an exciting time not just for the athletes who have trained incredibly hard to qualify, but for all of us watching from home. In this Winter Olympic Games we have a fellow Wisconsinite to cheer on – Staff Sargent Deedra Irwin. She's on Team USA competing in the biathlon and currently holds the best placement for an American athlete in the event with her 7th place finish from her Olympic debut in Beijing. Irwin is from Pulaski, Wisconsin and is also part of the Army's World Class Athlete Program. To share more about how she got into the biathlon and her outlook on the upcoming Olympics, she joins Lake Effect's Audrey Nowakowski.

It's a general snowfall coming down this morning, but that will switch to lake effect later today. National Weather Service meteorologist Tony Ansuini tells us how much snow is coming and provides a timeline.

Every year, Woodland Pattern selects a Milwaukee Youth Poet Laureate through a competition. Last summer, the local non-profit crowned Angela Wang with the literary honor. She's a senior at the University School of Milwaukee and wraps up her service this upcoming May.  As Youth Poet Laureate, Wang shares her poetry across the city and helps guide other young poets through writing workshops. Lake Effect's Xcaret Nuñez talks with Wang about what inspires her poems and what's she learned in the year-long role. 

Today on Lake Effect, we learn about the need for reading comprehension services for adults in Milwaukee. Wisconsin's version of C-SPAN shut down because of a lack of funding so we look at what that means for transparency in our state's politics. We speak with the outgoing co-director of the Milwaukee Water Commons. Plus, we learn about Liberace's Wisconsin upbringing and the lack of recognition for the famed performer in his hometown.

Lance Armstrong. Elizabeth Holmes. Jay Gatsby. Typically, we shun liars in all forms whether they are politicians, financiers or fictional characters. We tell our kids to never lie, and expect our friends to be truthful, even when it hurts. But the Burlington Liars Club is different. Here, lies are celebrated and platformed in an annual contest for who can tell the best lie. Truthfully, Tea Krulos is a contributing writer for Milwaukee Magazine, who wrote about the Burlington Liars Club for this month's issue. He joins Lake Effect's Sam Woods to put WUWM's journalistic integrity to the test, and celebrate the liars among us.

Meteorologist Aaron Reynolds has the forecast.

The primary focus of today's discussion centers upon the ongoing adverse weather conditions impacting various regions across the United States. As articulated, the National Weather Service has issued numerous warnings and advisories, particularly in the east and Great Lakes, where lake effect snow and severe cold conditions persist. Furthermore, we delve into the flood warnings affecting the Skagit River and the repercussions of a recent magnitude 4.0 earthquake in California, which, while not resulting in significant damage, has prompted caution regarding aftershocks. The episode also addresses hazardous travel conditions in the Los Angeles area due to dense fog and high winds in Montana, underscoring the diverse and severe weather phenomena currently in play. We conclude with a reminder of the importance of preparedness as these conditions evolve, urging listeners to prioritize their safety amidst these challenges.A comprehensive overview of the current meteorological conditions reveals a predominantly weather-driven scenario with significant implications for various regions across the United States. The National Weather Service has issued lake effect snow warnings for areas adjacent to Lakes Erie and Ontario, highlighting the persistent and severe cold that dominates the eastern parts of the country, while freeze alerts extend precariously down to the northern Gulf Coast. The discussion further elaborates on the ongoing flood crisis in Washington State, exacerbated by another deluge of rain from the Cascade Mountains, necessitating renewed vigilance as levels surge above flood stage once more. The seismic activity is also noteworthy, as a magnitude 4.0 earthquake rattled Sonoma County, California, prompting the acknowledgment of potential aftershocks, albeit with no immediate reports of significant damage. This episode serves as a crucial reminder of the unpredictable and often perilous nature of weather phenomena, urging listeners to remain informed and prepared for extreme conditions.Takeaways:* The National Weather Service warns of persistent cold weather and snow across the eastern states. * California experienced a magnitude 4.0 earthquake, with minor aftershocks but no significant damage reported. * Flood warnings are currently in effect for the Skagit River as rain increases water levels above flood stage. * Dense fog is impacting visibility in the Los Angeles area, making commutes hazardous this morning. * Freeze warnings are in place across parts of Florida, indicating significant cold weather conditions ahead. * A statewide state of preparedness has been declared in West Virginia due to expected snowfall and plunging temperatures.

The primary focus of this podcast episode is the severe winter weather conditions affecting the upper Midwest and Great Lakes region, which are anticipated to create hazardous travel scenarios during the holiday period. The National Weather Service has issued blizzard and winter storm warnings, particularly for parts of Michigan's Upper Peninsula, with expectations of dangerous travel due to whiteouts and wind gusts reaching 40 to 50 miles per hour. Additionally, heavy lake effect snow is forecasted through Thanksgiving, while other regions, such as Hawaii, have experienced seismic activity, including a magnitude 4.6 earthquake. Furthermore, it is essential for residents affected by Typhoon Halong in Alaska to be aware of impending deadlines for federal assistance, specifically noting that they have until December 22 to apply for aid. This episode serves to inform listeners of critical weather updates and safety recommendations in light of these significant meteorological events.Takeaways:* The National Weather Service has issued blizzard and winter storm warnings for Michigan's Upper Peninsula, indicating severe weather conditions. * Travel during the holiday season may be perilous due to blizzard conditions, with whiteouts and gusts reaching 40 to 50 miles per hour. * It is crucial for residents in affected areas to apply for disaster assistance by December 22, to secure necessary support. * Heavy lake effect snow is anticipated through Thanksgiving, yet minimal flood risk is expected nationwide, as per the Weather Prediction Center. * The recent earthquake in Hawaii was recorded at a magnitude of 4.6, but no tsunami warning has been issued for this inland quake. * Various states are experiencing winter weather warnings, particularly in the northern regions, with significant snowfall projected.

Arctic Front and First Snowfall The Chicago area is under a Winter Storm Watch for late Sunday night into Monday due to an Arctic front and lake-effect snow potential. Rain is expected Saturday evening, transitioning to snow overnight, with the heaviest snow likely from midnight to 8 a.m. Monday. (Or 10am).  Temperatures will drop sharply, with highs in the 30s Sunday and Monday, and wind chills in the teens Monday morning. Snowfall Amounts Official forecasts from the National Weather Service (NWS) indicate 2–8 inches for Cook County, but localized totals could be higher (possibly double-digit amounts where intense bands set up). Some models suggest up to 15 inches in certain spots, though placement is uncertain. Snowfall rates of 2–3 inches per hour are possible in the most intense bands.  Lake Michigan Water Temperature Lake Michigan surface water temperatures in early November typically range 45–52°F. But currently they are in low to mid 50s which is warm for this time of year. Lake-Effect Snow Dynamics Strong temperature contrasts between the lake and the 850 mb level (around 5,000 ft) are necessary for Lake-effect snow. It requires a difference of roughly 23°F or more.  Northeast winds usually occur at the start of a storm for Chicago. This creates  enhanced lake-effect snow for Chicago. However for winds to be off the lake as a storm departs and Arctic air arrives is uncommon for Chicago. This is what causes lake effect snow. It's also uncommon for this to happen in November due to warm Lake changing precipitation to rain. Buffalo 2022 Comparison The Buffalo storm in November 2022 produced over 80 inches of snow in some areas, with snowfall rates up to 6 inches per hour and thundersnow. Comparing this event to that event is reasonable in terms of dynamics, though Chicago's totals will be far lower. Timing: Heaviest snow expected overnight Sunday into Monday morning, tapering by late morning Monday. Wind Gusts: Up to 35 mph, causing blowing snow and reduced visibility. Chicago: 8.6-9.8 inches Cicero: 9.8 inches Oak Lawn: 5.4 inches Harvey: 6.4 inches Tinley Park: 5.8 inches Oswego: 0.3 inches Plainfield: 0.8 inches Wheaton: 1.5 inches Schaumburg: 1.8 inches Palatine:1.9 inches Evanston 8.2 These totals are for 12 hour period from 10 pm Sunday night 11/9 to 10am Monday 11/10/25. They assume a 10 to 1 snow to water ratio and follows the High resolution rapid refresh model as advertised on Windy.com I used this computer model because it is high resolution which is essential for lake effect snow and seems to be better than the NAM model regarding lake effect snow events from. What I've seen. It should be noted that while at times the snow to water ratio will be 10 to 1 due to warm Lake, but lake effect often takes on a powdery snow. Should snow to water ratio be double, then amounts could potentially be double whatever listed here in some spots.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/weather-with-enthusiasm--4911017/support.
