It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas!

The snow drought that has plagued (graced?) Eau Claire has finally ended.  Sunday night provided Eau Claire the rest of Wisconsin with well over a foot of snow.  Newscenter WEAU reports that Eau Claire was hit with 14.7 inches from the first snow storm.  With the snow seems to come everyones opinion about it each year.  These opinions, might I add, are typically more hostile towards Mother Nature as the amount of snow continues to pile up.  I would like to praise the city's plowing system for their dedicated work to keep the streets clear for all who must travel.  It is a very hard thing to keep streets clear during a snow storm with only a couple dozen drivers or so.  To top it off, the main roads were cleared immediately and remain clear.  It is MY opinion that everybody who finds it necessary to complain about the weather should close their mouth and open their eyes.  The snow is beautiful and should be appreciated.  It is common knowledge that Wisconsin receives a lot of snow annually so for those who don't like it , I suggest you pack your things and move or buy warmer clothes.
