I have a pilot friend in the Detroit area, he’s moving to northern Michigan when he retires. He’s nutsI grew up in SE Wisconsin.
In 1982 I realized that there are roads that go south.
You're welcome.
Please, for the love of God, stop snowing!

I just drove to town to pick up a few things for supper and it's storming up on the mtns ! It may hit here only time will tell the wind seems to be moving the storm clouds our direction .
It "might" get down to freezing, here in Austin, sometime in mid-late February.

Ha ha , well Mitch my suggestion is avoid all the states north of you for at least 3 - 5 more months with Montana and Canada even longer as I've Sen it snow in June here in the Treasure State !

Sidewalk crews are gonna have fun tonight... Looking at -30 upto -40 windchills. Snow is falling now, probably another inch or so.
This is the kind of winter that makes people change careers. Hasn't been a lot of snow volume wise, but our schedule has basically been plow, sleep, plow, sleep. You start to feel inhuman after a while.

Reminds me of past trips to Mitchell

Not gonna lie. I had to Google "Coulee" as I thought the ladies' bits were frozen shut. That would be time for me to leave....
You live in Wisconsin and you're whining about snow? If anything we need more snow so that winter sports like snowmobiling can be enjoyed. Might be time to move South. Let it snow, let it snow!
Out again today for a couple hours. 19° with a 25 to 35 mph wind. After we had our 9 birds walked out in a 15 minute blizzard.
Lots of wild flushes but had a spot with 3 dogs in 5 yards all pointing different birds. Got 1 rooster. Then 2 dogs went on point again and my friend missed the bird that erupted at his feet. I told him I was embarrassed for him.

I like Wisconsin, and I like snow. I don't like the non-stop snow showers that produce so little snow you can't even sled on it, or make a snowman with it, but it's just enough on the pavement every 12-14 hours that I have to rally the crews to go push the dust and salt.
I love plowing in general, but doing 12-14 hours of anything for days straight without doing anything else, with very little human contact gets old. If I wanted this, I'd have been a commercial saturation diver!
It'll calm down here soon, this seems to happen every 3-5 years where we get slammed every other week.
I keep telling myself during stretches like this - "This is why you need to make your custom cue side-hustle count! It could be your ticket out of this blue-collar, red knuckle hellscape".
Are you close to Polaski, Wi?

About 2 and a half hours south of there. I am in Milwaukee right on the lake.
I'm up in Theresa and finally we have just enough snow to go move around the driveway but I don't plan to move a single flake as long as it stays this cold and windy, it will melt when summer gets here.
Condolences to those living in the most frigid regions. Here In New York City, we got about 4" of snow a few weeks ago and it was the biggest snowstorm in four years. I actually enjoy winter and I like snow, but it's the frigid temperatures that I can do without. Still, I don't think the mercury has dropped below 20 degrees yet this winter, and it rarely does where I live.
Oddly enough, though it is further south than New York City, Louisville, where I'm heading on Friday for the Derby, is often significantly colder.
