Best of luck in enduring it.

Of course, as you know, you'll have many opportunities for great snowy photos! I've never gotten to do that.

Hang in there.

of where I live. We don’t have any snow YET…..I have no doubt we will soon….Winter in Wisconsin!

So we needed to make a “before Winter sets in” trip to the closest dispensary in MI for the “real stuff” CBD to help my aches and pains in anticipation of the impending cold. Plus, it really helps as a maintenance natural prevention aid for my migraines.

Sure glad the drive is over! Driving over 7 hours in a vehicle is brutal on my back but I got to spend it all with my son, so it’s all good!

…was stationed at KI Sawyer Air Force Base. At this time of year, there is always more snow to come. Average 220 inches a year.

When you are not native to the UP, you speak of how many winters you have lived there, not how many years.

We used to kid around that we were members of a very select group - people who have to drive south to get to Green Bay WI.

…hairs in your nose ice up, it’s not all that funny.

The first year we were there, we went to watch the base 4th of July wearing jackets, hats, scarves and mittens because it was 42 degrees.
