Milwaukee's Climate
Here are some images from Climate Consultant 3 using Milwaukee, WI as an example. I have been living there for more than 7 year. Growing up in a warm climate such as Puerto Rico is been a complete different experience compared to living in Wisconsin. I always thought if you are able to design a building to withstand such of an extreme climate as in Wisconsin everywhere else should be a "piece of cake". In a climate where is 10 degrees in the morning and goes up to 50 in a matter or hours, I feel like it is great challenge for us as Architects to accomodate for such of changes.

Good Carlos,
CLIMATE
What a climate! The first thing I notice is that the mean/extreme temperature chart shows a straight line down from summer to winter. Here in the east it is more of a sine curve (see Annie Kemp’s chart).
Try the wind chart for the coldest months – say Jan. and Feb. I think you might see more northwesterlies and get a better idea about the location of wind breaks/shelters.
You are brave to be there!
