You have Spring from November to April!  That's a pretty long Spring!

I am near Neenah wi and have only brought the snow blower out once this year and that was because i had put a new battery in it and wanted to use it.

Wausau Wi Here,

I was out of town and had my car parked at the airport which reported 13" of snow from that storm.  Fortunately, it was sunny today and it all melted off my car so I didn't have to shovel it out with my hands when I got home tonight.

That is a real beautiful area.
