Ground Blizzard It was already quite cold in central Wisconsin when a winter wind came and began to stir up the snow that was already on the ground. That’s how ground blizzards get their name. The sky can be perfectly blue overhead with no new snow falling, just as it was here, yet visibility can be very shallow. If the wind velocity is high enough, serious blowing and drifting of snow can occur, creating dangerously unsafe travel conditions.

Fall leaves and birch tree Here is one I pulled from the "archives'. I especially like the leaves against the white bark of the birch, a very common tree in central and northern Wisconsin. Double click image to enlarge.
