Winter in Wisconsin

So, it’s March in Wisconsin… and we’re expected to get about 4-6 inches of snow tonight! It’s like it’ll never end.

The last big snow storm we had left the area absolutely beautiful, tho!

It’s absolutely beautiful, but at the same time, doesn’t it make you want to stay inside, near the heater, with the devil cat?

And of course, it makes the streets absolutely treacherous. To illustrate it, I wrote a poem awhile back; here’s a quote from it.

tilting
heels sliding along the glaze
losing their mount
another gust, an old hag
cackles as she gives a final shove

toppling
arms open wide
a yell, lost in a sea of snickers
as london bridge topples down
to the cold thames below

Yes, that has happened to me. An icy road and me has equaled some very embarrassing situations. :\ It makes me really wish I lived somewhere warm.

California girls, we’re unforgettable
Daisy dukes, bikinis on top
Sun-kissed skin, so hot
We’ll melt your popsicle

Katy Perry really gets it right, doesn’t she? Where the sun actually warms you…

BUT! The good news is that it is March! It was 40 degrees yesterday, almost! It was really nice. And on Friday, I was running around in a short sleeve shirt.

So… winter may suck, but it’s only around for about half the year, and then it’s gone again! (Wait, some of you don’t deal with winter for about half the year?!?! Here in Wisconsin/Minnesota, our seasons are winter and road construction)

…thank God there’s no road construction.

YAY WINTER
