Two days ago, I walked to play practice. I did so wearing no protection against the elements other than jeans and a hoodie. All the snow was melted off the sidewalks, and I'm pretty sure it actually rained. Not freezing rain, not sleet, just good old-fashioned rain rain.
Yesterday, it was the closest thing we've had to a blizzard all year. Snow was dumped on us, on top of the "puddles" from the day before, now frozen solid. Wind was ridiculously strong. What. The. Freak.
Only in Wisconsin can it go from Dagobah to Hoth in the span of a day. Seriously, I think it was almost 50 degrees on Monday, and yesterday it got down to -5 degrees BEFORE windchill. For those of you playing at home, the temp dropped FIFTY-FIVE degrees in less than 24 hours.
I guess my point is this: If you don't live in wisconsin, DON'T MOVE HERE, at least not in July or January. If you DO live in wisconsin, then you already know, and I'm sorry for you. If you ARE wisconsin, then MAKE UP YOUR FRIGGIN' MIND already. Seriously, yesterday's blizzard was made even more miserable to me by the previous day's rainy goodness. I haven't gone outside yet today, but it's supposed to be even colder than yesterday. I would try and whistle through it, but my lips might get frozen together.

If you hadn't just left the best state in the country, you wouldn't have noticed how much Wisconsin sucks.
I love the rain. It doesn't require shoveling, sliding on, piling into ditches with, etc. It just flows down the sewer drains in an innocent way. Usually.
You can always MOVE out here, Nate!
Love how you tied in the Star Wards reference. =)
