Unusually warm weather for February may be a good thing for outdoor activities, but it's also shutting down winter activities in Southeast Wisconsin.

It means a bit of an unexpected swap in how you can enjoy the outdoors. For starters, Slice of Ice in Red Arrow Park shuts down Friday.

Saturday and Sunday from noon to 6 p.m. you can head over to Whitnall Park for an outdoor beer at the Sprecher traveling beer garden, which you can enjoy after a round of golf at two Milwaukee County golf courses- both Grant Park and Lincoln Park are open for the weekend.

The golf courses say they've pretty much filled up tee times both days until 3 p.m., but they're also planning to stay open through next week.

We called The Rock Sports Complex in Franklin, they tell TODAY'S TMJ4 this season's been tough with little snow since December. They plan to allow tubing Friday and Saturday, but have to take it day-to-day from there.
