To get this out of the way, I know, I live in West Central Illinois and it comes with the territory. Lived here my whole life, I get it.
But hey, this project is called a “wish list”, so here it goes.
How about 9 days of winter? Start on say, December 23 to get a White Christmas, hang around long enough to sled, do some skitching or build a snowman and then, so long. Once we pass New Year’s Day, no more shoveling or scraping, no more slick roads, corrosive salt or winter coats.
Get the picture? Well, here’s some actual pictures to help make my case.
Drill vs. Row (actually the last time I went icefishing, February 19, 2004)
Snow Angel vs. Swimming Hole
Snowman vs. Fishing with Papa
Snow Shovel vs. Fishing Pole
Snowman vs. Campfire
No contest. Talk to you later. Troy
