Global Warming?

Someone needs to let Al Gore know that if he is worried about the polar bears, all he needs to do is move them to WI. We are now, in the Milwaukee area, experiencing the #2 all time December snowfall. Last Thursday night into Friday we got 12 inches of snow in about 12 hours. In fact, the weathermen called it thundersnow as we had thunder and lightning along with the snowfall. This was followed up 24 hours later with another 4 inches. Then came the cold! The high yesterday was only in the single digits with 30-40 below zero wind chills. BRRRRR!

The girls got school canceled Friday, which was fine since Sarah came down with something. She spent Friday with a fever of 101 and throwing up. The same thing Saturday. In bed (or at least under a blanket resting) taking tylenol and motrin. Saturday night she was up every couple of hours with dry heaves. I took her to the Urgent Care clinic Sunday just to get checked out. Her fever was dropping, but still over 100 and she still had a sore throat. The doctor said the throat culture came back negative and it was most likely a virus. So Sunday was spent much like Saturday. By Sunday night she was feeling better except for the sore throat, so she helped with decorating this year's gingerbread house. Pictures later.
