Winter in Door County; it's beautiful, but COLD

I am often asked why I live in Wisconsin - and while I was born here, I have been to many other places and why they seem ideal, there were big red flags about why I couldn't live there. Several years ago, I visited Arizona during their "winter" and I cannot begin to tell you how nice it was to sport a sweatshirt or hit the hot tub in their 65 degree evenings, but after seeing a snake slither across the freeway, I quickly determined I was okay living in Wisconsin, where my face hurts six months out of the year and you can have snow, rain and sun all in one day.

I sit here and think about this today because Wisconsin is currently under an Extreme Temperature Warning. It is currently -41 degrees with windchill. Yes. Living in Door County is beautiful, but colder - thanks to being cushioned on both sides by Lake Michigan. It's beautiful, though! When the temps warm back up, I love seeing the ice shoves and going for drives. I then count down the days until I can go to Cana Island again in spring - one of the most peaceful, historic spots here.

It's fine, but definitely a "stay at home and work" day. Thankfully, my work is anywhere my laptop can go - and for that, I am thankful and warm!

Much Love,
Jennifer
