Default -16 today.
Saying "good morning" from beautiful, downtown, Boscobel, Wisconsin, where the temperature is a brisk 16 degrees below zero, not counting the wind chill. Thank heaven that the wind is light.

Frank, being a former Wisconsin resident now living in California, you are probably extremely jealous of me this morning.

My wife gave me a bottle of wine for Valentine's day. I am tempted to spend the day drinking wine and sitting by the fireplace. This is the kind of day that i stay inside and spend too much money on eBay and the BST.

It is hard to get motivated when it is that cold. At least I am retired and not out carrying mail.

I didn't mind the cold. It was the 95 degree days that were tough.

Are you carrying mail today?

Yeah, the heat is always worse than the cold. It's easier to get warmer, but impossible to get cooler out there. Yes, I'll be out shortly. It's been a mild winter here in northern NJ. 30s today.

The only thing I don’t miss from days at Madison are the -10+ days. You Wisconsin people are tough.

Go Badgers!

-7 degrees in beautiful Lake Geneva, Wisconsin this morning.

Lake Geneva is a resort town just over the Illinois/Wisconsin border that draws nearly every person that lives in and around the Chicago area to its cramped shoreline and chachkie-filled shops year round. I actually think this cold weather will keep the tourists away today which means the locals finally have the run of the town.....at least for one day.

Actually, it's just a small houseplant that I glued pieces of Peanut Butter Crunch to.* Just Photoshop perspective manipulation.

Was a comfortable -4F this morning in West Bend Wisconsin. There was no breeze, so not much of a wind chill.

I have several bird feeders in my back yard. It was -6 this morning when I filled the feeders, but the birds are very active when the weather is this cold, and right now my back yard has 30-50 birds, with several varieties, that are feeding, in addition to 12-14 squirrels.

So, the Wisconsin winters aren't all bad. That is what I keep telling myself anyway.
