The Revenge of Old Man Winter

6 February 2008

Where I am, there are now winter storm warnings everywhere, blowing and drifting snow, very low visibility, icy roads. A good day to stay in and work from home (as I did).

Here are some photos of the local area here. Hope it’s sunny and warm (or at least safe) where you are!

UPDATE: The Interstate (I90) between Beloit and Madison came to a standstill, and people were stranded in their cars (over 800 of them). Orfordville, Wisconsin recorded 19.5 inches (49.5 cm) of snow; Beloit recorded 21 (53.3 cm). Over on flicker, there is a photo stream of the snowstorm taken from near the state capitol. The local news station (Channel 3) has photos, photos, photos, photos, and photos! This snowstorm will be talked about for a long time.

    I really envy you… We are having one of the hottest summers I can recall, and I +hate+ summers.
    Take care with all that snow.
