Snow.

[rustred]

There is all kinds of snow this year. Soft snow , sugar snow and hard snow. Had a very strong wind blowing snow all day yesterday and the night before. Had to go fed cows this morning. Tractor sitting on top of a drift around 2 ft off the ground. Changed my mind on this drift. incase I fell through. Went s different way. This recent weather is like a yo-yo.

You can keep every freaking speck of it. I never want anything to do with it.

Several years ago our son-in-law from Illinois was visiting friends of our daughter in Northern Wisconsin. The friend commented that it was a "bad snow year". He thought it was because they had too much snow. Quite the opposite, not enough snow for snowmobiles, cross country skiing etc.

In general, we like snow and frozen lakes in Wisconsin.

P.S. daughter and family have since moved nearby in Wisconsin and look forward to snow.

Just south of our northwoods. place is a four-way stop set up in the middle of Grindstone Lake every winter. When that doesn't get erected there, it's a bad snow year. I used to chuckle at the concept, having been originally from the west shore of Lake Winnebago, wondering just who the heck would think you needed to STOP on a lake unless there was an ice boat cutting across your path (or at the cracks). From that perspective, it's tough to fathom whatever they do on the rest of the ponds. Of course, those on the Superior or Michigan shores have yet a different perspective.

From WI. If we don't get enough snow alot of plants, trees etc don't survive to well. We need the snow for ground cover and spring moisture. All though shoveling today in single digits makes me wonder.

And snow that sits 6 " on top a fence post.

However, a white blanket of snow and blue sky sure is picturesque.

Of course blue water and white sand conjures up nice warm thoughts, somewhat contrary to the blue sky white snow image you paint. And the scenery walking along the sandy shoreline is totally different from the icy frozen shores of these glazed over lakes.

I think I'd rather have either snow or no snow all winter. Or frozen dry ground. We get snow, melt and thaw: MUD, then freeze, snow, repeat. My Dad once told me when he was kid in the 20s and 30s, snow stayed on the ground all winter. Only in '77 and '78 did I ever see long lasting snow. Mark.

Newer buzzword around here for the weather guessers is graupel, which previously was called snow pellets. First time I heard it was a year ago, looked it up and appearantly the word has been around a while but the newsies just discovered it last year.

Not a lot of snow,but the 6-8 inches from last night.My wife wanted me to get pictures because it is so pretty.The blue sky one is from last year,I got it in by accident because the thumbnails are so small it is easy to mix them up.It was leaden gray when I took the rest of the pictures,but right now the sky is blinding blue.That Rambler sign is 600 feet from the road.I gave up plowing snow for money a couple of years ago,this would have been my 50'th year.I'd still plow and shovel every day before I'd spend one day living in the heat.

My dad always called it corn snow.

Near Sayner, Wisconsin is up North. We live near Stoughton, Wisconsin. About 20 miles South of the State Capital, Madison.
