Wonder if it will snow on Mauna Kea, it didn't last year so I missed out on the only snow I could have seen in a few years.
Oh well, sunny and in the mid 70s today!

Four stage strategy from Yes, Minister:
Stage one we say nothing is going to happen.
Stage two, we say something may be about to happen, but we should do nothing about it.
Stage three, we say that maybe we should do something about it, but there's nothing we can do.
Stage four, we say maybe there was something we could have done, but it's too late now.
Re: Winter in the Midwest
Just so all you guys believing in the global warming crap understands,
I had to dig out my car this morning and it was snowing hard all the way to work.
It's all a hoax, the end of snow... pfff!!!

Re: Winter in the Midwest
Thanks for all the replies guys, although I did expect them to be slightly more practical... Snow bragging is fine and all, but i actually need some advice:
The travel plan includes Chicago, Milwaukee (is that how it's spelt?), and Madison, so, again activities advice, nice restaurants, blues bars, etc wil be much appreciated.

Re: Winter in the Midwest
Do you know how to drive in the snow? And by snow I mean several inches on the road. It's not something to take lightly, especially if you haven't done it before. I don't know how you plan on getting around (taxis, friends, etc.) but its something to keep in mind.
That's about it for relevant advice.

Re: Winter in the Midwest
Well, honestly, I'm not very familiar with those cities, to be honest. I would strongly recommend grabbing some pizza while in Chicago, its quite good. Also, I would be careful with Madison, logistically. Me and my dad still aren't quite sure how we spent 45 minutes on the highway that technically runs through it. Also, be prepared for road construction, so make sure to allow yourself plenty of time when going about. Chicago is infamous for it, and Madison also had some going on when I went through about a month ago. Also, when you go to Milwaukee: go to the area of the Marquette campus. There is, at one of the corners, a very nice sports pub/club of sorts, with rather good food, and a complementary bowling alley and basketball hoop in the building as well.
It is better to conquer yourself than to win a thousand battles. Then, the victory is yours. It cannot be taken from you, not by angels or by demons, heaven or hell.
