normal for that time period would be around 60 for a high and 35 for a low. It's still early, so a lot can change. Let's just hope this holds. At the very least, let's try to avoid a freezing rain or snow.

To snow tire or to keep the summers on, oh the perils of driving north in October.

I needed a replacement for my roller bag and just ordered one of these. Thank you!

i don't plan to update this daily, but the trend is not good. Still a ways out, so a lot can change.
Forecast for 20th-24th
Highs 58-64 degrees
Lows 42-49 degrees
Partly cloudy most days, but mostly sunny on Thursday

I just did a Google search and it looks like Madison has an indoor mask rule in effect. Is that correct?

And are there any other rules we should know before arriving next week?

Proof of Vaccination is mandatory for attendance.

In that case I'll give you one more. The good news is that Wednesday is now predicted to be mostly sunny and the remainder of the days partly cloudy. The chances of precipitation never go above 21%. While that doesn't mean you won't get wet, there's a better chance of it staying dry. On the other hand, we have temperatures.
Highs 56-63 degrees
Lows 43-48 degrees

Not a lot of change in temperature. I guess it depends upon your tolerance for cold. For me, this is light jacket weather. Even in the 40s its not too bad unless you're outdoors for an extended period, or unless it gets really windy. Wind predictions so far are moderate 9-11 mph.

Friendly Reminder/Request: Please do not bring suitcases, rolling or otherwise, into the dungeon.
Not that anyone was suggesting it, but we may have some first-timers that might not know the rooms in the dungeon are small and big containers can be a safety hazard as well as a nuisance.

This is a good time to ask:. What kind of bag check is available?

Correct; Dane County has a mask mandate in effect until November 5. publichealthmdc.com/coronavirus/current-order

AG members will be able to use bag check.

Just to confirm, a reasonably sized backpack to carry a token binder is permitted in the dungeon?
