As we got closer to Saturday the projected snow totals got higher, and now here we are. We planned on staying in all day due to the weather anyway, and since it was a holiday weekend and still no responsibilities tomorrow, we had a bit of fun with it.
Homemade potato skins for the final Badger football game this afternoon. And homemade-from-a mix chocolate chip cookies for dessert. (Not to mention finishing off Thanksgiving's banana cream pie.)
And given a snow day's time to spare I decided to make a big and bubbly focaccia bread. It was absolutely airy, crispy and delicious! Don't worry, we froze half for warming up at a later time. We're only two people, after all.
But it was oh, so delicious!
And as of right now, it's snowed at least 7 inches and probably even more more with the end several hours away. It may still be snowing when I get up tomorrow.
We've cleared the front and back steps about four times, plus knocking the snow weight off the front arborvitae, while doing a full snow removal twice so far. By mid-morning we should be able to do a final cleanup, then hope for sunshine to help because the temperatures won't. Welcome back, Winter, my old friend.

Wow! We’d love to have snow like that but instead we have wet, windy and cold weather. I’m not sure I’d like it every year or for the few months you have it for.
That Focaccia bread looks very tasty. Enjoy!
Thanks, it's a treat to make and eat.
Just finished the last cleanup. Right around 12 inches of fun, all said and done.
Our forecast snow is now rain and warmer temperatures. I've gone off snow now. One lot this winter is enough already. Stay warm.

But if you got snow and then it stayed below freezing for some time, then it's just there. Your slightly milder climate maybe makes it more messy and uncomfortable, but differently. Maybe?
Either way or place I'd still be a summer person.
I want to point out that I don't know what the official measurement was here, I still haven't found a good local source online. I used an app called Precip, and it seems accurate to what I see out our door.
Official measurement? I use a ruler! Or a tape measure if it were to be more than 12" I hope I haven't tempted fate with that last comment...
Me, I'm a spring perosn and I would ban autumn and summer if I could. Yuck.

That would be better, given the space. Too many close buildings and fences for an accurate reading here. The 'official' measurement for Madison is taken at the airport where they have that space, but not necessarily correct for all of the city. I like this app, so far anyway.
Barefoot and shorts and I'm happy!
