"It doesn't show signs of stopping"

Winter, that is.

No, it doesn't show any signs of stopping, and James Wigderson has posted a charming little musical and video tribute to the Eternal Winter of '07-'08.

Yes, Mr. Wigderson, when does that global warming start?

Meanwhile, my friend from Bayfield wrote to describe the results of the blizzard they had on Friday:

The snow finally stopped or almost stopped. All our landmarks, like the rocket launchers [rocket launchers?? this is some part of farming I'm not familiar with] and the well head are now again covered. The east and north windows look like they have been covered with lace. It's 29 outside and it's still windy. The employees are at the orchard making sugar-free apple butter, but we are blocked in as the road in front of our house hasn't been plowed.

The wind finally gave up sometime in the night, but we fell asleep to howling, really was tiring to listen to it.

Bruce wasn't able to plow the circle in front of the orchard as there's a drift that's like cement from the steady wind. No problem as this will all at least begin to melt this coming week.

Yesterday, my brother in Rhinelander called to say he was taking a break from shoveling the eight inches of snow dumped on them Friday night.

Down here in the balmy southern parts of Wisconsin, we had nothing that bad. Just cold, wind, and some snow showers.

Typical for April, isn't it?
