First the Snow now the Cold

 In the month of December it was in the 40s  and it barely snow at all in the last month of year. It was unfortunate that the kids was not able to enjoy a white Christmas and new year. 

Good ol Mother Nature decided that this week that she has some catching up to do. We received about 10-12" this past week. The littles had fun outside playing with fresh snow. The goofballs on Saturday, it was their quest(I guess) to stay in there PJs all day long. The little things in life I guess. 

Now it is coldness and wild chills decided to come on in. It is the time for deceiving views while you look outside. It feels like it is -20 to -30 outside. It is the season to layer up every time you go outside even to walk to the car or bring the dog out.

 

During this time it the sounds of come out during this time when the temps plummet well below zero.The crunching of the snow and ice is natures music.

Sadly, during these temps the kids are not allowed to go outside and play for their recess. After, the school day they have PLENTY of energy when they get home. They will be racing around like a squirrel that just drank Red Bull.😂

It  should be another week or so of the subzero temps. Then who knows what the weather will bring. 

Remember that winter is the time to reset/restart to start out a new season. 

First Snow

We got our first snow of the year last night/this morning. I usually call it warning snow. It is called that because you get the snow it does not stay. It means that you have to get ready for winter or you will be behind eight ball when it is finally here to stay for Wisconsin. 

The kids had a blast this morning playing in the snow. The younger 2 were outside enjoying the fresh snowfall at 630ish this morning. There is nothing like seeing kids outside and just enjoying the loveliness and mystic adventures that snow brings to youth and adult. 

So many busy people complain about the snow and the unpredictable circumstances that it can bring. It can be nice to see what everyday brings. Enjoy each day as much as you can :) Take your time and SLOW DOWN. I have had issues in the past with winter, but I will try to take a different approach this winter season.

 

The Weird Weather and Christmas Shopping

I am not complaining that there is no slow on the ground "currently", it is Wisconsin after all and that can change in 5 minutes. With me submitting my shopping list to Amazon and they can take the needed funds from my credit card. This is the EARLIEST i have ever been accomplished my Christmas shopping. I give myself a pat on the back and you can give me one to if you would like.

I think that I have jinxed the winter weather with me buying a snowblower last fall. Thus far I have used it 1 time. It has been a great $500 investment.I think i better keep my mouth shut or the Good Man upstairs might make me eat my words.It is only the beginning of December and all my area has had for the puffy white stuff was a dusting. It is going with the temps reaching 50s this week.

I think that we Wisconsinites are going to PAY dearly for the mild and spoiling winter we had last year.
