Please stop picking on Wisconsin. I'm sure the northeast would love some of the weather you have been blessing us with. But, I think that all Badgers are SICK of this snow, rain, ice, repeat combo you've been working lately.

Thank you!

PS: Northern Illinois would like to be considered as well.

Good luck with that, Tiffany. Mother Nature is notoriously fickle of late. I sure hope you didn't bring her attention back to Wisconsin. :)

WHAT ARE YOU CRAZY? Nothing like poking fate square in the eye. I know you asked nice and all but I think your supposed to use reverse psychology on the gods.

Unfortunately its not only mother nature who tends to pick on Wisconsin. But don't worry, you have a few fans out west... just not in California cause our cheese comes from happy, warm cows. For us cheese fans, there seems to be some rivalry between CA, WI, and VT. Or is it just me?

It's just you. WI has the best cheese no questions asked. ;)

I'll second that. Our cheese commercials are better too!

Well, I am a fan of the earthquake/foot massage one from CA. Too bad it spreads false information. WI>CA!!!

Send some of that cool air down here to Texas. We hit the 80 in the last part of February. I fear Mother Nature is going to make up for the mild summer we had last year. Another year without no snow. I know you guys hate it, but what I wouldn't give to have 2-3 weeks of deep snow on the ground down here. On sunday I was working out in the yard with shorts and a tee shirt, pulling weeds that have been growing since first of February.....*sigh*.......

Beautiful day here in south central Pennsylvania today. Too bad it's still the same boring-ass south central Pennsylvania though. :lol:

I'm with you BigBlueDodge, I spent all day yesterday at the beach with 80 degree sun and a little breeze. Sure it was really nice, but a little snow would be great once in a while. Besides, its still March (supposed to be cold)!!!

Toss in northern Illinois as well. This winter has just sucked.
“Hey look, this picture is all white, and this one, and this one, and here is a snowy owl in a blizzard”
Actually the snow is ok, it’s just that every freakin day is gray. Even this weekend where we had a hint of sun, there was a white pall across the sky and when you looked at the pics, another white sky.

Ok, so I am a flatlander and slam the cheese heads any chance I get, but I am also a California wanna-be. In fact, I am moving out there shortly. But Calif cheese is… well cheesy compared to real Wisconsin cheese. Sorry guys, they beat you by a mile. You Calif guys are not even in the same league.
And while we are at it. What the heck did you Calif guys do to pizza. I have never seen a state that is incapable of making a decent pizza. Heck, Chef-boyardee makes a better pizza..

I think your wish is about to be granted. ;) They're calling for 1-3" in our area this evening. Not deep, but about as deep as texas gets. :lol: I'm from Wisconsin so I definitely miss the snow as well.

I edited the letter-just for you. ;)

I agree-grey is starting to get old. But, I prefer grey to super sunny and below zero. That's a mean trick-make it look nice and sunny and then make it so cold your nostrils freeze shut when you go outside.

Aw, it’s not so bad. A couple of hours out in that sub zero stuff and all the condensation freezes you mustache solid. Wait, you probably don’t have a mustache do you… but… you are from Wisconsin so maybe. :evil:;):D

Man, no love for CPK at all. Really though, CPK isn't that great of a pizza anyways! I gotta wonder how anybody came to the conclusion that CA has bad pizza. Ever been to the Pizza Factory in Bishop or Lone Pine? Not to mention all of the incredible local joints around. And for the cheese, WI has nothing on good old CA monterey jack, and the greatest cheese of all time >>>PepperJack<<<. I'm pretty sure the Spanich settlers didnt go spicing up cheese all the way over in the flozen tundra which is WI.

Much love for my Tillamook Pepper Jack (even though it's made in Oregon)

You suck! My little bro has been bouncing between Brazil, New Zealand, and Australia since Jan 1 so I really get mad at him when he tells me that it's 85 degrees!

What about the sorry SOB'S like me--and the rest of us in West Michigan?

We take ALL your crappy weather and then ADD lake effect on top of it. :evil:

At least I got a new snowblower last fall--remind me to never do that again!!!

Hopefully the end is near--the days are getting longer :D

I added a request for you too. ;)

I really hope this crud is gone by my son's B-day (April 19). We were lucky enough to be able to have his party outside last year and I'd love to be able to continue the trend.

Be very careful here! Mother Nature is like the Title Fairy! Poke her in the eye and she will come after you ;)

Michigan's been getting it, too.

Never mind, I should probably read through a thread before posting sometimes. :D

Doesn't the TF deliberately ignore you when you are baiting the TF? Maybe that will work here. ;)

I think this is all my fault. I've been complaining for two years since I have been back that I miss a real winter. If you all need to vent you can blame me!
