First day of spring? Pfft!

First day of spring? Hah! Typical Wisconsin weather. It's cold, windy, and to top it all off, we have a good stiff breeze off Lake Michigan. Brrrrrr!

2pm CST weather stats:

Temperature: 34.3 °F / 1.3 °C
Overcast
Wind: 12 mph / 19 km/h from the ENE
Gusts to 20.0 mph / 32.2 km/h
Wind chill: 26 °F / -4 °C.

After being outside for 40 minutes at my lunch supervisor job, which is fairly close to Lake Michigan and being exposed to all that wind, I'm still cold and I got off work an hour ago! I just hate weather like we have today! It feels more like winter and actually we had snow flurries, too! It will be hours before I really feel warm again, because I got so chilled at work. I even was wearing a long-sleeved shirt, my heaviest sweatshirt, my Land's End winter jacket, a hat and mittens! You would think I was dressed warm enough! That wind was going right through me, though.

Ugh, it's supposed to be like this all week, too. Spring comes late, to those of us near the lake! That cold lake keeps the rest of us cold, too.
