10 Things You Need In Winter

I've learned many survival skills while braving years of Wisconsin winters. The following is a series of posts on things that have come in handy for me during those blistery winter days and nights. Enjoy!

1. A full tank of gas
2. A cross made out of popscicle sticks, stolen from a nursing home
3. A laundry basket full of dirty clothes
4. A 5th Avenue candy bar
5. The Amish
6. One Clydesdale horse
7. A shovel
8. A vacation!
9. Alcohol. Any will do.

10. A sense of humor
As our Wisconsin winter winds down to make way for our next season--still winter spring--I hope you've learned that the most important thing you need to make it through this time of year isn't an ice scraper in the backseat, a blanket in the trunk, or hell--even a Clydesdale horse. What you really need is a sense of humor. If you can laugh at spending more time in a snow bank than you do your living room, giggle at needing to be pushed up a hill by the SUV behind you, or joke to your neighbor "It's not so much the heat, it's that damn humidity" while walking your dogs on a -10°F day, then I can promise you one thing--winter will be a little warmer for you.

I hope you've enjoyed this series, and hearing about some of my most memorable winter moments!

Well, humor is something you have in abundance. You could probably live in the Tundra and be OK.

There comes a point -- like today -- the first day of SPRING where I need more than anyone can provide!

Here Here! Although I think copious amounts of alcohol does help, but you're right, humor takes the cake.
