Could be. I remember building snow forts as early as October and the winter usually eased up by March, but it was a long time ago so I could be remembering incorrectly. These days, winter doesn't really start until December and sometimes snow shows up in April. It seems we hardly have a fall and spring anymore.
it was just 80 a couple of days ago.
See, being lazy is a good thing!
I take it...this is what is coming our way. We haven't had any significant snowfall this winter...accumulative yes, but nothing major. As of this minute...no snow, the morning commute by all accounts should be a nightmare...
...lol. Now off to work so I can finish and hopfully get outta here earily.....You want the 16" we just got in the last 30 hours? Milwaukee is basically closed.Well I arrived at work without incident...I allowed myself some extra time by leaving early. The forecaster's have already scaled back their predictions...my guess it's better to error on the side of caution rather then suprise...
They where talking about 30-40 cm yesterday...it scared so many people into staying at home that driving was a breeze this morning. It's still coming down around here but now they're calling for about 15-20 cm. Its funny our school district never seem to close but they always cancel bus services for the day. As a kid I remember walking to school regardless of the weather outside because school never closed! Nowadays they are either driven or picked up by a school bus...

that would piss me off to no end.Got up in the morning and called our work's 'weather hot line' to find out that were were open. Got dressed and called again. Still open. Hit the road and the roads were empty. Called the hot line again and it still said we were open. Drove 40 miles through the snow and ice to find a closed building.
That would piss me off too. My wife's work didn't "close" even after a civil disaster was declared and everyone told to stay home. Not that people could get there. Then around 11 this morning, an announcement came that 2nd and 3rd shifts were closed. So what about the first shift during the blizzard? They really dropped the ball on this storm.We were predicted to get up to 18" today. Got up in the morning and called our work's 'weather hot line' to find out that were were open. Got dressed and called again. Still open. Hit the road and the roads were empty. Called the hot line again and it still said we were open. Drove 40 miles through the snow and ice to find a closed building.
Not much snow so far. Maybe 4 inches. Now we're just getting ice and freezing rain.
Clever...lol...The view outside my window:
We got dumped on in about '67- must have been 100' deep and we had to borrow out of the house, just so we could go outside to play.They where talking about 30-40 cm yesterday...it scared so many people into staying at home that driving was a breeze this morning.
