You Might Live in Wisconsin If...

Here's a question for you: When you take the kitchen garbage, and carry it out into the garage to put into the big garbage bin, do you first take the time to put on your full winter parka? How about a hat?

When you dash down to the mailbox, do you wear gloves or a scarf wrapped around your face? (I just assume you've got the parka of course, let's not be silly.)

And here's a Wisconsin riddle for you. On Sunday morning (January 4th), the kids decided to go around the block. They traveled happily along until they came to the Schmidt's house, where they were disappointed. They managed to get past the Schmidt house, and continued around the block back to home. Can you figure out what they didn't like about the Schmidt home?

Hint #1: We had notable weather on Saturday night.
Hint #2: The Schmidts are early risers and take very good care of their property.
Hint #3: Do you really need another hint? Although the kids had on snowpants, parkas, hats, gloves, and mittens, they did not have on snow boots.
