Definition

For coverage purposes, metro Milwaukee is Milwaukee, WI together with every incorporated community within 88 miles that is closer to Milwaukee than to any other metro anchor — 16 communities and about 1,085,261 people beyond the core city. Communities are assigned to their nearest anchor, so the boundaries follow travel distance rather than county lines.

Geography

The anchor sits at 43.0389°, -87.9065°. Coverage extends in 6 compass directions from it, reaching 88 miles at its furthest. The largest surrounding community is Madison, WI — 243,344 people, 75.5 miles west.

Climate

Between October and April the Milwaukee area averages an overnight low of 30.2°F and reaches -9.5°F at its coldest, with 179 days below 45°F — about 5.9 months. A cat’s thermoneutral zone starts around 86°F against a typical indoor 64–72°F, so those are the months an indoor cat here is actively hunting for a heat source.
