Yep, here in Central Wisconsin we have snow! It has been snowing since yesterday around 3pm. There is only about 1-2 inches on the vehicles and mostly just slush on the roads. I think I may be one of the few people who is actually happy to see the white stuff. Anybody else have snow?

Uncle, funny you mentioned Neenah. The other day I walked over a man hole cover and noticed it was made by Neenah foundry here in Wisconsin. I bet if the other forum members check the man hole covers in their town there is a good chance it was made in Neenah also. I had a professor who was in Paris and there was a man hole cover from Neenah. I still wish you lived in Neenah, it would be a close drive for khuks! :D

My Dad had the McDonald's in Neenah. Uncle Mike had the Appleton unit. I worked with Dad for a couple of years up there but it was too cold for me. From there I went to Death Valley -- shows how much I disliked the cold weather.
 
Not me, I love the cold, Anything above 50 degrees is too warm in my book. I guess it's a good thing that I live in Wisconsin!

Bren,
You are not missing a thing!! You get WET & COLD,wind blows thru you ,toes get sooo cold!! Have to take a ton of clothes off,thaw your feet out, then put all the clothes back on to go out!! You as I said are NOT missing anything!

My Mom was the same way -- loved the cold and snow. Dad said, "that's because you can stay inside where it's warm and look out the window at the snow. If you had to get out every AM like me and dig your way thru 2 feet of snow in 20 below weather to open up that lousy unit you wouldn't like it so much." Dad always had a way -- and still does!
 
I don't think most people in Wisconsin like snow, they just deal with it. I like to snow shoe and trek around in the woods in the winter, everything just seems a bit more peaceful.

Ryan, I'm with ya!! I often find Southern Maine where I live to be too warm in summer and spring. Bring on winter!!:)

How I lasted 4 years in Maui is beyond me! Guess the scenery (land and women) helped;)

Spent about three yrs. in Alaska,cured me! Now everytine I see those, nice Bud commercials about gentle snow,happy faces,go to icebox,open freezer put my face near it & BAM INSTANT MEMORY!! You can have it,so can Uncle,his Dad understands!!

Oh come on Saint, it ain't that bad! :p Anything below zero is getting a little too cold for me, Above zero is paradise! :D

I agree - you can keep the cold !!

Anything below 15c is too cold for this beach boy !!
 
while the heat was ON, took a large part of the charm out of Wisconsin's winters for me.

I rationalize the winter by persuading myself that it keeps Californians out.

But Ryan? Mid-October is waaaay too early for snow.

On the other hand, anything that has "Death" in it's name seems like it is trying to tell me something. Not likely to seek it out.

Kis, the last couple of years we haven't had that much snow, I can do without the bitter cold but not the snow. Call me crazy, but I hope we have 3-4 feet of the white stuff by Christmas. :D

Would love to have a bunch of snow by Christmas too. Last year we only had one good Snow fall and that was the middle of December. We got about 13" here is Spring City. Was fun, but didn't last long.

BTW We did get some snow in the mountains a week or two ago and it's still there so it must have snowed quite a bit.:)
 
Didn't mind the snow when I was younger, now I really don't look forward to brushing off the car every morning with a push broom at 6:00 AM. Say, did somebody mention early retirement package and Florida :)
 
Eighteen years ago I pulled an assignment to go to Belgium and work around nuclear cruise missles. They told me winters were mild in the low countries, they told me wrong. That winter was the worst they'd had in forty years. It got so cold that one day I crawled under a heavy cargo truck to thaw out it's parking brake with a propane torch, and I wound up freezing to the ground, had to have a couple buddies break me loose and drag me out from under the truck.

Nosiree, I'm an old southern boy, I like winter just cold enough that the old wood burning stove in the bunk house seems inviting, but I'm not wild about walking around in the woods dressed like an astronaut.
