Snow and Bitter Cold
So far in December, Milwaukee has only seen a few inches of snow and rain which has now turned into the bitter cold. Fortunately / unfortunately (depending upon how you look at it) last weekend there was snow and a blizzard that happened all around Milwaukee. Milwaukee ended up with rain, how disappointing. And then after the rain, came the deep freeze which then caused all that rain to turn into ice. Should have seem me attempting to walk two dogs on Sunday morning. Ugh.
For those that were fortunate (in my opinion) to receive the 8 - 10 inches of snow I hope they ventured out to see what a beautiful site fresh fallen snow can look like. I did venture out in search of snow on Sunday and drove directly into the heart of the blizzard up in Northern Kettle Moraine. (Does that make me a winter storm chaser instead of a tornado chase? ) Once north of the county line, the roads definitely got worse and once off the main roads and driving on the Scenic Drive through Northern Kettle Moraine you ventured through snow drifts with your car.
Thank goodness for my Subuaru Outback and its all wheel drive. With luck, the dogs and I made it through the park, saw some amazing views of the snow and back home again in one piece. It was too bad the parks and roads were not plowed where I could have pulled over for a while and gone for a hike. But, with the bitter cold we had this week - no snow melted and the dogs and I will be off to enjoy the views of the Northern Kettle Moraine this weekend. More on that later...
