SNOOOOWWW!!!!!!!!!!

Eh, snow is fun, don't spoil it for the Southerners who are getting a very rare taste of the stuff. When I look back at this long Wisconsin winter I think of:

• Igloo building with the kids
• Sledding on huge icy slopes at barely controlled speeds
• Cross-country skiing
• Ice fishing with twelve other drunken dads (caught no fish, but we consumed our own body weight in beer)
• Riding around on a frozen lake on an ATV with my boy lemur
• Singing in a blizzard at the Christmas parade

Good stuff. Just because it feels old by late Feb/early March is no reason to get sour on a great season ...

When I think of the Minneapolis winter in 08 I think of

• Standing in the cold waiting for the bus
• Waering 4 layers of cloths
• Spending little time outside
• Having so much snow and no alps to make use of it.

But I heard from friends that the winter has been quite tough in Wisconsin and Minnesota.
