The aspect about January in Wisconsin is settling in...

[Archae]

The fact it is so BORING here from January to April.

Not much to do but stay inside where it's still warm.

1. Ice fishing, cross-country and downhill skiing, snow shoeing, snowmobiling, wood chopping...

saunas and hot tubs, pubs...

4. I no longer do any of those.

Went ice fishing one year, got cold, but got no fish.

Tried my hand at cross-country skiing, got bored.
Tried regular skiing, ran into a tree.

I'm just not the type for winter sports, I get cold too easily and too quickly.

I do keep an exercise bicycle in my media room, so I can watch shows while keeping my strength up for bicycling.

And pubs? I never have liked bars.

8. Then it's read by the fire, I guess.

I'm not a big fan of my participating in winter sports either. I would like to try Ice fishing, though. But that's like about $2000 in gear to start if you don't want to freeze to death.

5. Wood chopping??? Have you done that in winter?

It sucks plenty in fall and more in winter.

Argh......

7. I prefer wood shopping. n/t

10. That's what I did when we saved so much money from Mr Lake woodchopping.

6. Skating, too! Don't skating!

Of course you need a dry cold snap to freeze the ice here here in Central Maine. Seems like that happens less and less frequently as the years go by....

3. I always said WI Winter would be perfect if we could eliminate February.

Short month. No good holidays off.
86 it

9. I practiced keeping hope in friends and dogs.

I was plenty busy.

As a bonus, I enjoyed seeing weather complaints, bad driving, airline cancellations.

Special bonus: egg nog in super markets, turning off the furnace.

Snow melt.

Quilts.

Christmas.

11. My dream would be to be a snowbird

I love Wisconsin, but I HATE the winters here.
