December 20, 2008 – Winter Solstice
The wind and snow, mainly the wind forced cancellation of the annual solstice bonfire (that’s two years running). The forecast whiteout and blizzard warning was enough to dissuade us from hosting the event.
Here are some of the now abandoned ice luminaries in a snow drift, as if they’d not get blown away out in the open. It’s scary cold out there and not fit for man nor beast. Looks like this winter is starting to shape up like last year’s never-ending winter.

Same here in Central Wisconsin. We have about a foot and a half of snow on the ground (after the 4 inches we received last night (12/22)). And yesterday the temperature dropped as low as -17 degrees. And we have a week to go, probably another 4-5 inches of snow to come. Some winter, isn’t it?
