I live in southeast Michigan, which might be a tad warmer than
Wisconsin, but not a lot. I just Googled, and I don't know
whereabouts you are, but it seems to be about 10 degrees
colder in Eau Claire in the winter than it is here in Ann Arbor.
I see the summers are nearly the same, though. I would still
call that three months of cold weather, since October and
March averages are in the 40s. That's perfectly acceptable
"put on a sweatshirt and work outdoors" weather (provided
it's dry out).

I mean 3 months of actual cold weather. December, January, and
February,
whose average highs are actually in the low 30s.

It's just fooling around in November and March (average highs in the
40s).

October and May are the best two months here, with average highs in
the low 60s
to low 70s, respectively.

April is "When will the ground dry out so I can get some work done out
there?"

The rest of the year it's warm to hot, and I have to force myself to
go outside
when I'd rather sit in the air-conditioning and read.
