Seriously though?! The dumping we have all been waiting for here in good ol' Wisconsin has finally made its way to us. At one point early on this winter, back in December it seemed that it snowed every other day. We would get 3 inches sometimes a little more, sometimes a little less. But you know that begins to add up over time. Then it stopped. It didn't snow anymore. It just got very cold. Once in awhile we'd get an inch or a little dusting. But the snow from early on just stayed around. It never got warm enough to melt some of it away. Then the epic storm we have at least once a season hit today. 5-7 inches across the land. The nice thick, heavy stuff. You know the kind where you can make snowmen out of. So now it seems that this snow will stay forever. The next few days show signs of promise and of spring, but with rain forecasted and the warmer temps that will not make for a nice time around here. Flooding anyone? And then the bottom drops out again and we will be back to single digits and teen temps around here. I feel as if this has been one hell of a long ass winter. But I think we have been spoiled the past few years. Not much snow. Not much freezing cold days. We've lost our toughness and grit. We've forgotten what winter in the upper Midwest is really like. It sucks that we have been so spoiled. The feeling that the winter will at least go on for another 2 months makes my head hurt, my body is just ready for it to be over. The days are getting longer and that always makes me happy, but seeing the blanket of snow and seeing the forecast for colder weather doesn't.
Peace&Love
