DE PERE, WI (WTAQ) – Folks throughout Northeast Wisconsin get outside for the warmest temperatures the area has seen in 2018.
With a Tuesday high in the 50’s, it’s a busy day at the Fox Point Boat Launch in De Pere.
“We’re out here fishing on the Fox River, fishing walleye in a boat. So far, so good. We’ve gotten a big one and a bunch of little ones,” says Tony of Shawano.
“Taking my kids and my dog for a walk today. I think the dog (is most excited to be out) because with it being winter, he didn’t really go on too many walks,” says Alisha of De Pere.
“I’m out for my first outdoor (bike) ride of the year. It’ll probably be 20 degrees again next week, but I’ll take it for now,” says Nathan of De Pere.
Folks say they’re seeing plenty of signs that spring is coming.
“The sparrows are trying to get into my wren house, and my tree has buds on it,” says Kay of De Pere.
“We actually helped them get the (boat) launch open yesterday,” says Kyle of Bonduel.
“When it’s bright (outside) like this, there is a light at the end of the tunnel. You can see for miles,” says Milt of Green Bay.
High temperatures are expected to drop down to the 30’s and 40’s for the rest of the week, with snow possible on Thursday.
