Griper Blade: Wisconsin Votes -- and Freezes

I got up this morning, poured a cup of coffee, and turned on CNN. Big election day here in Wisconsin, so I hoped there'd be something about the primaries. There was -- in Hawaii.

I hate those people so much. They're out there, doing a man on the street thing, talking to people in shorts and t-shirts. Meanwhile, here's my forecast as I go to the polls:

TODAY:
Partly sunny this morning, then turning cloudy with areas of flurries or light snow developing later in the day--mainly west of Madison.
High: 11
Wind: W/SW 5-15 MPH

TONIGHT:
Light snow this evening with minor accumulations under an inch; partly cloudy, windy and very cold overnight.
Low: -7
Wind: NW increasing to 12-22 MPH; Wind Chills: -15 to -30


Mahalo that, mutha. Here, voting in the primary is an honest to goodness accomplishment. If you go out, you have to do things to make sure you won't die. Seriously. So I'll put on a couple of coats, a stocking cap over my baseball cap, a pair of wool socks, and some mechanics coveralls. I'll make sure I have some coffee brewing for when I get back and I'll walk -- that's right, walk -- six or seven blocks to the High School to vote. Uphill, both ways.

As I say, it's an accomplishment...
