It took a while for winter to come, but brrr, it's here now. So while January's Heat Index should really be called the "Wind Chill," winter is finally hot in Milwaukee. Get it? Good.

The Packers are hot, hot, hot ... and the Bears are ice, ice baby.

Somewhere in the middle are the Brewers' off-season moves and the new Wisconsin legislature.





Sizzling:
Packers – Looking dominating in the post-season
Milwaukee arts scene – Getting well-deserved props
 

Hot:
Winter – Cold and at least a little snowy, like it should be
Jake's Deli – Welcome to Downtown {#emotions_dlg.arrowup}

Warm: 
Brewers' off-season moves – Conservative, at best
New state legislature – Can we all get along? {#emotions_dlg.arrowdown}


 


Cool:
Rose Bowl  – That Barry Alvarez experiment ended badly
Milw. County Board of Supervisors – Full-time future is in jeopardy
 

Cold:
Minnesota Vikings – Take that, A.P. {#emotions_dlg.arrowdown}
Chicago Bears – Watching the playoffs from the couch
 

Sub-zero:
Golden Guernsey – Owes its employees answers
Scott Skiles – "Parting ways," eh? {#emotions_dlg.arrowdown}
