We get a lot of snow where I live in Northern Wisconsin. And it gets so cold around here, I once saw Smokey the Bear running around the woods screaming, would someone please start a fire. I guess maybe that joke is oldand with the fires out west not too funny anymore. We getcold winters, but nothing a person can't put up with.

We have a couple bitter cold weeks in January when we get some -20ºs days, and once in a while it will drop to -40º, but you just learn to stick to the house then, and throw more wood in the stove... The coldest we had so far is 2 degrees one evening, but from what I understand there is some real cold weather headed my way for the muzzleloader season. Which seems normal. At least we have some snow on the ground. Although you drive thirty miles either way from my place, and there is little to no snow on the ground.
