Christmas Shopping Online

This was the first year that I did the majority of my Christmas shopping online. I've got say it was a great experience. I found some great deals that saved me a few hundred dollars. Located some unique items that I would never have found if I was out shopping. The best part free shipping (on most purchases, the shipping I did pay for was in the boundaries of what I would have paid in gas) and everything got here on time.

The couple of times I had to go to the brick and mortar stores I did it during off hours, trying to avoid the craziness.

Having worked in IT for over 20 years and in web development for many years, I'm surprised that it's taken me so long to change over.

32 inches of Snow in December

We didn’t have to dream of a White Christmas in Wisconsin. We have had a little over 32 inches of snow this December and have 36 hours to beat the record of 35 inches set in 2000. The forecast for December 31st is possible snow.












So what do we call this a "typical Wisconsin Winter"?

Our last storm was supposed to start around noon; it actually started at 6am and lasted till around 7pm that night.
