Thanks Patrick, we've actually had 5 snowless days this week, 55 inches for
the winter so far only 10 more for 10th snowiest winter ever bragging
rights! We've also had our share of cold, only -4 below 0 this morning a
veritable heat wave with a forecast of 26 for a high today!
Last weekend when the ski jumping championships were running in nearby
Westby, WI the windchills were in the 25 to 30 below 0 range but it didn't
slow the ski jumpers down with 6 inches of fresh powder!!

Surfing, I'm not sure I can follow that in the cold, that borders on crazy!!

Mike
