It's no surprise that it snows in Wisconsin in December.
What is a surprise was that we got nearly a half month's worth in 24 hours! And that was after it had only snowed significantly once or twice before.
This measuring stick shows nearly 10 inches. But, there was a lot of blowing and drifting, and this pictures was taken before the snow stopped falling. I think the actual snowfall amount ended up being 12 inches.
Here's great shot of early morning snowfall...so peaceful, and before the wicked winds started up.
There were reports of thunder and lightning associated with this storm only a few miles away. Rare.
The whole family got a "snow day" and one of us never made it out of our pajamas ;)I was going to say 2 of us, but Trinity DID secretly get herself completely dressed, with the exception of asking where I put her hat and mittens, and ready to head out.
I totally sounded like the mom in the movie "A Christmas Story." You know....."don't knock those icicles down, they'll put out your eye!" And, "don't play under the tree, those branches are heavy with snow and could fall on you!" To be fair, there WERE alot of downed tree branches that knocked out power.
She did manage to find a way to have fun despite my constant warnings :)
