The Evolution of a Wisconsin Winter
With the recent rash of violence in the upper Midwest, some of you might be wondering what's going on with the supposedly mild mannered folks of the region. I have a theory. I believe some of these acts of violence, as well as thousands of unreported incidents are caused by Winter Induced Rage (or WIR).
Here's a quick look at how Winter Induced Rage develops in Wisconsin:
November: "Oooh, it's snowing! How new and exciting!"
December: "It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas!"
January: "30 below? Oh, that's nothing. We're tough!"
February: "It's snowing again, but hey, at least winter's almost over."
March: "#%&*!@!!!"
Unfortunately, WIR is now a raging epidemic in Wisconsin and the only known cure is a good dose of Spring. Keep us in your thoughts, good readers.

| Ora pro nobis.
Pax vobiscum. And if that doesn't work, run about and scream and shout. |

| I'd say I have WIF, winter-induced frustration, not rage yet anyway. The lack of sun leads to a lack of Vit. D and it all goes downhill from there. |
