Snow days

Since Willie's family has lived in Wisconsin, they've had two days where the snow and roads were so bad that school was canceled. Today is the third. For weeks, Willie's been saying he wanted to see more snow (despite the fairly constant two or three inches on the ground). Well, apparently he got it. It's been an educational experience, and thus called for a little exert I'd like to call, "Things I learned from Wisconsin winters."

1. Dogs will eat your face in order to get your snowballs.
2. If you don't wash your car for a year, and then it snows, your car will magically be clean when you scrape that snow off.
3. Willie fails at running in snow.
4. So long as you're wearing three layers of jacket, you can go outside in your pajama pants and be okay.
5. Snow is like sand. If it's too dry, it's not good for building anything.
6. If you park on the side of the road, you're stuck there until the snow melts.
7. Salt saves lives.
8. Just because the local government tells you not to park your cars on the streets because the roads are in bad condition... doesn't mean they're actually going to DO anything about the condition of the roads.
9. Ice can rip a hole in those twenty dollar down filled gloves you loved so much.
10. "Heated side mirrors" are not useless.
11. When your car door freezes shut... you're pretty much fucked.


Truth in its purest form. Alright, enough procrastinating. Back to Graduate school applications.
