Living in Wisconsin
The downside of having only five or fewer days with a temp above 90 each year are days like today. It's 1 above with a wind chill forecast of 25 BELOW. Tomorrow when the Progeny is taken back to the Cities, it's forecast to be 25 Below and wind chills on top of that. Thank goodness for the Minneapolis Skyway system, as the Espousa and I will be staying the night downtown.
In honesty, if you're only running from your car in a parking lot to your office door, it's not that difficult. My problem this morning is I have been invited to attend as a guest a UW faculty retreat in which the parking pass I have been given is THREE blocks from the Meeting. This WILL be difficult.
Update: I've received a couple emails from folks who are from areas with a more continental weather pattern, i.e., hotter summers and colder winters than Wisconsin experiences. I'm sorry I may have come off as whining or whimpering, that wasn't my intent. It was more that it is such a change from the wonderful summers. But my standard line during the many 70 degree days of beautiful summer is "This is why God made Wisconsin."
