Winter--Part II, Its Just Kept Coming


We probably didn't have nearly the total accumulation of either Milwaukee or Madison during the winter of 2007 but our snow came and stayed. There was never a time when we got a thaw. The closest I can recall is in late January the temps rose back into the +20 degree range for a couple of days and you'd have thought it was summer. I even had a window rolled down on the MINI.


The snow at the end of my driveway topped 7' (feet) at the height of the season. The MINI was dwarfed by the size of the piles. I had no idea if anyone was coming down the street once I entered the tunnel of snow at the end of the drive. When I look at my yard now its hard to imagine there was so much snow. But its late August and only a weeks away from fall and then....
