The Great Milwaukee Downpour of... Not Quite 2024 (Spoiler Alert: It Wasn't That Much)
Did you wake up in Milwaukee yesterday, bleary-eyed and convinced Noah was building an ark in your backyard? Maybe your dog did a synchronized swimming routine in all the puddles? Fear not, fellow Cheeseheads, because the deluge you dreamt of wasn't actually a deluge. But enough suspense, let's get down to the nitty-gritty (or should we say, the not-so-gritty?) of how much rain actually fell.
The Verdict: A Drizzle Disappointment (or a Hydrating Hope, Depending on Your Perspective)
QuickTip: Use posts like this as quick references.
According to the weather gurus (those wonderful folks at the National Weather Service, not some random guy in a tinfoil hat), Milwaukee received a measly 0.103 inches of rain yesterday. That's about as exciting as watching paint dry, folks. Now, before you start hoarding all the toilet paper again convinced it's the next Great Flood, here's a little perspective:
Tip: Break down complex paragraphs step by step.
- That's less rain than your average spilled glass of milk (unless you're particularly clumsy, then maybe not).
- It's more like a light sprinkle than a downpour. Think misting your delicate ferns, not filling a swimming pool.
- Technically, it did rain. But you might need a microscope to see the evidence.
QuickTip: Stop and think when you learn something new.
