it is winter...

It is winter here--it came with a roar and with snow this past week, and while expected, it still came as somewhat as a surprise to me.  I remember it snowing once when I lived here before, and it was a huge snowstorm, with several feet of snow.  Oddly, for me as a Wisconsinite, was that it was gone in a few days.  I do not think we are that lucky this time--its cold, and this photo, taken a day after the first snow last weekend, is just indicative of what we have experienced.  Here, the Spinks' hand-carry their tree home, as roads were all but impassible, even with only a few inches of snow.  Ahh, you have to love Norman Rockwell...
