More Snow, More Snow, More Snow

Just when you think spring is on the way, well - guess again.  After the great blizzard of 2011 back on Groundhog's Day (which by the way was cancelled in Milwaukee) I think a lot of people thought we were done.  The weather warmed up and within two weeks we had temps in the 50's and could again see the grass in our yards. 

With only snow drifts and piles left - here we are again.  Starting last Sunday we had about 6 inches of snow in my neighborhood (nice, heavy wet snow).  Late that afternoon the sleet hit, then the rain, then the sleet and overnight another 4 inches or so of snow.  Now we have a day off (of snow that is) and tomorrow we'll get hit with more sleet and then snow with more snow on the way for the weekend.

I know I hear many people who wish this would go away and that spring would be on its way, but not me.  I love the snow - give me more, more and more snow.  What that really means is the hot, dog days of summer are still a ways off.  Like I've probably said before - Winter is the Best Season.  Why do I think that?

• No mosquitos
• No fighting for camp sites and no crowds
• You can add on layers in the winter, you can only take off so many in the summer
• Snow is beautiful and inspires creativity
• Winter hiking is the best
• do I need to go on?

If you can't imagine it - here's a few pictures of reasons why winter is the best season, enjoy.  And until next time, bring on the snow.



Peace and quiet - no one else in the woods.



Creativity = Using old leaves, twigs and plants to provide your snowman a mouth, eyes and even hair.



You can get the beach all to yourself - now crowds
