You just have to love living in an area of the country where it can be 68°F on Wednesday, and on Friday it’s 21°F with a foot of freshly fallen snow on the ground.
Yep, you guessed it, I live in Wisconsin, the state of which it has been said: “The rest of the country has climate; Wisconsin has weather.” And so we do.
I was out mowing and raking the lawn Tuesday past, and wearing shorts, sandals, and a light sweatshirt. This morning, as I was shoveling the first four inches of snow off of my sidewalk, I was wearing jeans, boots, gloves, and a heavy wool jacket. Of course, the thirty mph winds didn’t help matters; it made it seem much colder, and turned that four inches of snow into drifts eighteen inches deep or more.
But, that’s life in Wisconsin. If I didn’t want weather, I’d live somewhere else. Like Hawaii.
Wait a second--I’d love to live in Hawaii! Black sand beaches, perfect climate, bikini clad goddesses…
All things being equal, I’d rather be beachcombing. :-)

I can't say I miss Wisconsins weather, but down here in the Southland, we have had near freezing temperatures and night, and almost bearable daytime temps in the 50's, and I had to change to my "winter" shorts. Actually, what I do is wear a sweat shirt and blue denim shorts if it gets too cold. Our average temp is 68 in December. Lows 30's & 40' depending upon where you live. We will should be back into the 70's soon. That's what's nice about winter in Houston. It's measured by how many accumulated days of what we consider cold weather there are. I would imaging during the so called winter season we may have 2-4 weeks (stretching it) of miserable weather to a Texan. Mind you I am not complaining. I can tolerate our kind of winter. Beleive me, I can.
