NOT EVEN ENOUGH . . .

1. to shovel
2. to build a snowman
3.  to make snowangels
4. to throw a snowball
5. to go sledding

But it is cold enough to go ice skating, there is ice outside.  I just heard one of our own village's parks has flooded an area for skating. We'll have to go check it out.

But, there is hope . . . lake effect snow is in the forecast.  Prediction of a few inches.  Let's just hope we live close enough to the lake!

See for yourself below!


Tom Skilling's 7-Day forecast


Thursday
HIGH/LOW
22°/17°
Waves of lake-effect snow are likely to come and go into the afternoon across lakeside counties from southeast Wisconsin southward to Cook, Lake and possibly far eastern Will counties in Illinois into sections of northwest Indiana.
Quick, localized 1 to 2 inch accumulations possible in heavier bursts of lake snow, but amounts diminish quickly outside the snow belt. A few lakeside locations, affected by multiple bands of snowfall, may see higher accumulations on a local (limited coverage) basis. -Farther inland, from Joliet and the Fox Valley north into much of McHenry and Boone counties and west, a sun/cloud mix is forecast. Greatly reduced chances for flurries there. Thursday's blustery, frigid open with sub-zero wind chills eases a bit as wind speeds diminish fairly rapidly by and during the afternoon Lingering lake-effect snow flurries later today into early Thursday night continue winding down while cloudiness moves over the remainder of the area overnight. Wide-coverage light snow develops late Thursday night.
 
Friday
HIGH/LOW
28°/10°
Steady overnight snow continues, possibly accumulating a couple inches or more before ending in the afternoon.
High temps in the upper 20s. Partly cloudy at night. Winds shift to the northwest late.

Well, good luck! The snow we've had thawed some and then froze, so it's hard as a rock, with just a dusting on top to camouflage the icy spots.
