O ya da hay.

Since I was born and raised in Wisconsin, I can tell you that it is all true. We left Wisconsin at the age of 35 and have spent 22 years in warm, sunny Maryland. My son and family live in Chicago and have season tickets to da Bears.

One thing that was forgotten was at 25 below 0 the bubblers freeze.

Today the high was 8 degrees I think. I was shopping out of town so was making frequent stops and going in and out of stores. I had on a tshrit and a hoodie but that was it. I even got a little warm.

I live in Missouri where we get the worst of both. Wind chill down past -20 the last few days and over the summer we get heat indexes over 110. During spring when it's supposed to be nice all it does is rain and flood everything. And lets not forget the tornadoes.
