As for the weather, we have some very cold temps and get
plenty of snow. The overall climate is probably not that
much different than NY.

If you have special education certification you will find
the job market pretty promising. There is a shortage of
Special Ed teachers in WI, however it is dependent on the
area of the state. Larger cities will have more certified
teachers, but will also have a greater need.
