Rain adds up to about 34 inches a year, falling on about 69 days with a tenth of an inch or more. Freezing nights (32°F or below) come about 169 times a year.

Paperwork and rules for Wisconsin businesses online

These are some of the Wisconsin and federal rules a small business with a website runs into:

• Wisconsin’s state sales and use tax is 5%. Most counties add 0.5% (Milwaukee County 0.9%) and the city of Milwaukee adds 2%. Wisconsin Department of Revenue
• Wisconsin does not require a DBA filing. A trade name or trademark may be registered with the Department of Financial Institutions for public notice; the registration lasts ten years and does not by itself create ownership of the name. Official source

Rules change and details vary by business; this is general information, not legal advice.
