Winter

It may barely be December, and winter doesn't officially start for a few more weeks, but you wouldn't be able to tell here in Wisconsin over the past few days. On Saturday, we got about 6 inches of snow, followed by several hours of hail and freezing rain. It made for some real treacherous driving, but it was kind of fun to see snow again. Fortunately, they know how to clear the roads pretty well here, so things were relatively back to normal in a day or two. Not to be outdone, Mother Nature must have decided that she likes snow-covered roads because she decided to dump 5 more inches of snow on us yesterday. Driving home from work last night was less than enjoyable.

Today is a nice and sunny day, although I think the forecast is for a high temperature of about 24 degrees (Fahrenheit). And tomorrow? Oh, just 3-4 more inches of snow. I wonder if I could find a job where I could spend my summers in somewhere like Wisconsin, but then spend winters in somewhere like San Diego.

I've also been messing around a little lately with YouTube, as you may remember from our trip to San Diego about a month ago. Anyway, I've been taking some pictures of our backyard lately and it kind of became a cool little time-lapse showing the transition from fall to winter. Thought I'd share it here.

More Snow Pictures

Since we don't have much exciting stuff talk about... here are some more pictures of the snow yesterday.
The snow pile in front of our house.

This truck was buried on the side of the road. I only caught the front of it because Jason was driving but you get the idea.

And here is the parking lot we park in. Unfortunately, the piles were not cleared yet this morning, meaning there were only about 1/2 as many parking spots as there should be!

Time to Make the Donuts...

We woke up this morning to even more snow. Although it doesn't seem to be as bad as they were saying.
The donut dough had been in the fridge all night so it was time to cut them out and fry them up. Then we glazed them with milk and powdered sugar. I think they won Jason's seal of approval.
As for the snow, I only have a picture of our deck for now. We haven't built up the courage to leave yet. I would estimate we have almost a foot of snow right now and we are supposed to get more throughout the day.
