The other day it was 50 F and sunny in Milwaukee. Today, we have 5 inches of snow so far. Band of snow #2 is just arriving. It will probably bring another 3 inches of snow. "False" Springtime in the Midwest. My lilacs have buds all over them and I have a few flowers, day lilies and crocuses, starting to push up out of the ground.

Since I have lived in Wisconsin I have been snowed on every month except June, July and August. These late season wet, heavy snows are the worst! Some people in my neighborhood have lost power. My old phone line was sagged down so far that I was able to reach up and knock snow off of it. We have been here 37 years and that is a first!

Adz can tell you that I am not Andre the Giant.
 
It just breaks my heart. My granddaughters are at different schools so not affected directly but these things weigh on them. In their minds it's not "if" but "when". All we can do is hold them close.

MNP Captain over south is a Blackman baseball parent. He was on scene, he sat with me last night, the stories are unbelievable and have changed my stance on some things.

I'll say this, EHS training saved 100s of lives during this event. I'm working with our EHS to get the most current AS training put into our annual package.
 
Stuff like this happens and I'm kind of glad my brother has been decommissioned and sitting at home for the last several months. The body cam footage is wild and I'm happy to know that the Nashville guys did it right, but its rough on families nerves.
 
Back when she, Carrie Underwood and Kelli Pickler used to sit in the front rows.
I remember that. I saw Kelli, Miranda Lambert and another blonde one time -- I think it was Taylor Swift, but not positive. Caroline Rhea sat in my section one time. I recognized her but didn't really know why, then found out she was at Zanies so I guess she was doing stand up.
