Whats up Midwesterners..Just got back from Mt Hood trip and ready to get back out there..

so my newest idea is to go back to Kettle Moraine Northern Unit and complete the entire Ice Age Trail section that is within the park - its 30 miles and quite nice trails..I did about 28 miles of it a bit ago..

SO whats the weather going to be like historically about Nov 12- Nov 14th? snow fall? destruction? Cold? or just mild maybe?

Last November (2nd Week) I did 80 miles in the Mich U.P. and it wasnt bad, but snowed the final day of the trip..I figure it cant be much worst than that cause Kettle is far south of UP..

Also don't have a car, so my transportation from Chicago would be perhaps
amtrac to Milwaukee, WI then rent a car in Milwaukee to do the driving?

INPUT?

thanx!

I realize that this would defeat the point of a solo hike but if you're looking for a partner I could drive.

If this year's any indication it will probably be chilly but doubtful you'll need snowshoes.
