Milwaukee Residents - Milwaukee Shield Belief - Storms Miss City

Is the Milwaukee Shield real? Hey there, I'm a reporter at the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel. I'm working on a story about the Milwaukee Shield, which allegedly keeps thunderstorms, rain and snow away from Milwaukee. I was hoping to talk to people about the shield and see whether they believe it is real. Was there a bad storm that missed Milwaukee and you believe the shield kept it away? How would you describe the shield? I just moved here two months ago, and I believe my description of it is accurate. But I could be wrong. Email me at [email redacted] I do plan on talking to experts in the field about this story, but I also want to see what you all have to say. Email me your thoughts or email me and we can set up a time to chat over the phone. I am hoping to talk Thursday or very early Friday to meet my deadline. I look forward to talking!
