Everything Under Snow
I remember the run of extremely cold weather. It was right before and during
Christmas and there was black ice all over the freeways in Mpls/St. Paul This was after some cars had slid off bridges and into the Mississippi. We went from there to D.C. where 1 inch of snow and there is a call for 4 wheel drive to take essential personnel to work. yeah right. we are back in Milwaukee, 6 blocks from the lake and I really like how much warmer it is, altho I would rather winter in Alabama. sigh. well at least it snowed before this nasty cold weather hit.

Once was when I was a kid and a November 11 blizzard hit that left six to eight foot snow banks and caused many stranded motorist to freeze to death. Another was when I was in college and a blizzard struck that covered first story dormitory windows. The third time was a day of extreme cold in 1994 or 1995 when the governor closed all the school in the state. The high temperature in the state for the day was a -40 F. A small town not far from where we lived set a state record of -60 F. Where we lived hit a mere -55 F. We now live in northern AR, and at first when I lived here, I laughed when schools closed at the first sign of a snowflake. I can now understand why school close so quickly here after sliding half way down the hill in our back yard after a small snow followed by some sleet. So many of the roads in our area are hilly and winding and could be extremely hazardous for a bus to navigate in slippery conditions.
