The morning measured in with just under half a foot of snow on the ground so mother nature didn't miss that benchmark by much. Always the determined competitor, Maw Nature is already reloading for a second big snow dump tonight. So much for thinking spring. Twenty minutes from now the Badgers begin their efforts to claim the National Collegiate Athletic Association's Men's Basketball Championship. Time to build a fire, get snowed in and root, root, root for the home team. If they don't win (without steroids) it's a shame. Go Bucky!
