• 4˚F sunny
• 14 mph southerly winds
• drill a 6 inch round hole in ice two and a half feet thick
• every 10 minutes scoop out the ice forming on the surface
• lose all awareness of feet and hands
• no evidence of fish in this bay, but watch the hole much of the day to make certain
• Recipe for fun times in Wisconsin
• Priceless

…share some of your sun. I’ve been sharing tropical photos most of the week. Now back to reality for awhile.
This blog brings you another weather bulletin. In case you’re curious, people in Wisconsin tend to be quite preoccupied with their weather. -6˚F today, -38˚F wind chill. The weathermen refer to this as “Bitterly cold. Frostbite warning.” I won’t even predict conditions for tonight. All I know, I’m staying inside. Not even the perfect photo could get me out there.
This photo was taken during the last cold spell when it was only 0˚.

Wisconsin State Capitol Building on the Capitol Square in downtown Madison.
The building is a geographical one-of-a-kind. It’s the only Capitol Building to be built on an isthmus in the world.
Does everyone remember what an isthmus is from 5th grade geography? Hmmm.

While it is most likely sunny in Mexico – at least it was one week ago when the last several photos were taken – it is not sunny in Wisconsin. But it is quite beautiful with the city covered in layers of ice and snow from last night’s storm.
This frosty landscape was photographed in Owen Conservation Park, Madison, WI early this morning.
Back to the regularly scheduled Caribbean photos tomorrow.
