Between Chicago And Milwaukee Is A Scenic Forest Preserve With Wildlife, Trails, And Wetlands

It's hard to imagine Illinois without picturing the expansive waters of Lake Michigan. However, the Prairie State is home to over 91,400 ponds and lakes, from the packed boater's paradise of the Chain O'Lakes to small ponds replenished by snowmelt. One charmingly local lake is hidden within Sun Lake Forest Preserve, a 629-acre park home to oak forests, recovering wetlands, and over 100 acres of replanted prairie.

Both almanacs forecast chilly, winter-like Thanksgiving in Wisconsin

It could be chilly Thanksgiving across Wisconsin, and you might even spot a few flurries in the air, according to forecasts from two almanacs. While Thanksgiving is still a few weeks away, the Farmers' Almanac and Old Farmer's Almanac have both released forecasts looking ahead to the holiday – and they're each predicting the weather in Wisconsin to be a little more winter-like by then. The Farmers' Almanac expects the holiday week to be cold across the Midwest, including the potential for scattered snow showers or flurries.

In the Upper Midwest, the almanac predicts flurries and snow showers, plus colder-than-normal temperatures. Snow in
