10 Ways To Know For SURE That You're Experiencing A Wisconsin Winter

1. You wake up in the morning and there is frost on your bedroom windows.

2. The five foot walk from your bedroom to the bathroom in the morning is painful, and you're sure that it would be better accomplished with a sled and a pack of dogs just because it's that cold in your house.

3. You need to give yourself 20 extra minutes to get to work because that's how long it's going to take for your car to warm up.

4. You need two space heaters and at least two layers on all of your body parts and your parka just to stay warm... at work... where there's already a heating system running in the building.

5. Letting the dog out to do his business becomes a production because he'd rather hold it (or go on your living room floor) than risk losing life and limb (and beloved body parts) by becoming a "puppy popsicle".

6. You could literally ice skate on the parking lot of your apartment complex.

7. Each time you take a breath your nose hairs instantly freeze.

8. Each time you exhale, your breath actually flash freezes right in front of your face and crashes to the ground right where you stand.

9. Penguins pass you on the freeway.

... and finally...

10. Santa refuses to come to your house to deliver presents on Christmas Eve because his Reindeer tend to get frost bite when they visit your neck of the woods, and because "even the North POLE isn't THIS cold!!!".
