7. You know what's knee-high by the Fourth of July.
8. You see a car running in the parking lot at the store with no one in it no matter what time of the year.

I really can't say on the forum what it stands for- just ask someone you know from Wisconsin.

You know spring is here when all of the construction signs are out! In Chicago, they had construction on the Dan Ryan expressway for >5 years! In fact I think they still have some construction somewhere on that HW.
