Winter has definitely come with just having cleaned out from one storm and another on its way. This one promises to be several inches – they are calling for up to ten inches depending on where you are in Wisconsin and how the storm tracks. It sounds to me like a good day to stay in the house, sit by the fire and relax.
Leaving work the other night in the middle of the snow coming down, offered a bit of a challenge. Most people were doing what I call the winter waddle – widen the stance and shorten the step. Small steps to make sure when you put your foot down it doesn’t go whoosh out from under you.
A white cold blanket of snow covers most everything now. There isn’t any sign of green or brown peeking out to remind us autumn just left. Old man winter has definitely come for a stay. Temperatures have dropped to the damn cold range. Life has to go on though. I still have to go to work and earn a living. I have to run errands and get around. It is just a matter of leaving more time and being cautious. Oh and hoping the other idiots on the road are willing to do that too.
