A humid, four-season Fox Valley climate

Menasha shares the same warm summers and genuinely cold winters documented across the Fox Valley and this dataset's other Wisconsin markets, shaped locally by its Fox River/Lake Winnebago mouth location.

Cold wave: Wisconsin's single highest Expected-Annual-Loss hazard

Per the Wisconsin market manifest's own research context, cold wave -- not tornado or flood -- is genuinely Wisconsin's highest Expected-Annual-Loss hazard statewide, directly relevant to Menasha's cold Fox Valley winters.

Real, dated 2026 tornado and severe-thunderstorm activity

A real, dated April 17, 2026 tornado outbreak prompted a Governor-declared state of emergency (April 15, 2026), and a July 27, 2026 severe thunderstorm/tornado event moved across northern into eastern Wisconsin -- a region including the Fox Valley.
