Winter seems to have become a fleeting moment here in central Wisconsin. The snow and the cold barely arrives before Christmas and yesterday, January 26 felt like spring. Coming from northern MN where the snow would come in droves somewhere between Halloween and Thanksgiving, and having school canceled due to record low temperatures (-60 F) this new trend is very unsettling.
One can't replace the sound of your boots in the snow as you cross the lake on a moon lit night, or the countless hours spent sledding, in snowman construction, and skating on the imperfect rink.
I built my first snowman in years while I was home over break. I can only hope that it won't be my last.
