I loved how people just embraced it and life kept right on going. My family is from the Caribbean--they all thougth I was just nuts when I picked WI for grad school. My first winter in WI we had a 3 wk stretch with temps in the -30 range plus windchills.

Seeing those pictures makes me want to run out there and just bury my face in the snow. That would wake me up this morning. If I had all that snow, I would study up on how to make snow sculptures.
