We Energies customers face another rate hike — but smaller, as regulators, Milwaukee Common Council, push back on utility

We Energies customers are in for another round of rate hikes over the next two years, although not as steep as the utility first proposed. Wisconsin’s Public Service Commission voted Thursday to approve a roughly 7% increase in We Energies’ electricity rates spread across 2027 and 2028 — the utility’s sixth consecutive rate hike. The utility expects an average residential customer’s monthly bill to rise between $7 and $8 per month in 2027 and again by between $6 and $7 the following year.

Milwaukee is overdue for snow, according to historical averages

Milwaukee is overdue for its first snow, according to historical averages. Milwaukee, on average, sees its first snow on Nov. 2, the Journal Sentinel reported . Madison is also overdue with its average first snowfall coming Oct. 27. Milwaukee is very likely to see its first snow this month. The Farmers' Almanac and Old Farmer's Almanac both suggest snow could be around during Thanksgiving week. A first snowfall arriving in December isn't common. The record for the latest snow of all time is Dec. 5. It likely won't be the snowiest winter for Milwaukee this year. A historically strong El Niño is possible, and that has brought below average amounts of snow in previous winters. That doesn’t mean no snow will fall. Andrew Quigley, a National Weather Service meteorologist, previously told the Journal Sentinel that an El Niño is an overall weather pattern that will impact the season. But localized, day-by-day weather could buck the overall trend. During the strong El Niño in the winter of 1997-98, the city saw 9.1 fewer inches of snow than average. Yet Jan. 9, 1998, it snowed 11.6 inches. Here are the first measurable snowfalls during past years. More: Hales Corners hires new plow
