100 inches broken

Wednesday, March 26th, 2008

It’s official: we’ve finally hit the 100-inch snowfall mark.

I’m sure I’ve said it before, but I’m going to say it again: this weather is really starting to get on my nerves. Even with all of the warming and then sudden snowfall, it is still possible to get sick of it. I admit, it’s March (when we still see occasional snow), and the temperature is still in the 40’s (Fahrenheit), so it’s not like it should just end anytime soon. But we’ve experienced more snow than ever in recorded history in this town.

White Christmas 2007

Monday, December 24th, 2007

Today is December 24, Christmas Eve. We’ve had snow since December 1. To date, we’ve had over 30 inches of snow pour down upon us, and very little of it has melted. That means we’ll be having a very white Christmas.

The following pictures don’t even start to show how much snow we’ve really had since the beginning of the month.

Major snow dumped

Friday, December 1st, 2006

Although I don’t live in southeast Wisconsin, I read that they received over 9 inches of snow this morning. Although this is not as significant as snow in other places, it’s hard to imagine that we were enjoying mild temperatures just days ago. Even my little city received just a couple of inches of snow today and experienced strong winds tonight. So it seems official: winter is finally here. And as an added bonus, I’ve posted an article about driving safely in the snow.
