Kwik: v 1 .1 Brrrr .... What A Miserable Winter Snow, snow, and more snowl Not only did we have snow but we had frigid temperatures as well. lt was below zero two days in December, eleven days in January, and eight days in February. The lowest temperature was -2I 0, the coldest wind chill was -80 0, and the most snow on the ground at one time was I4 inches. We had six snow days during those three months. The winter started out rather mild with the worst of the weather in late January and early February. Winter did have its good points and bad points. For instance, a bad point was the frigid tempera- tures that left motorists stranded with dead bat- teries and frozen engines. One good point is it can give students a variety of things to do outdoors such as building snowman, sledding, skiing, snow- mobiling, and ice skating. Like it or not winter comes to the Midwest every year and with it comes cold weather and fluffy white snow. Fun and frolic in it or complain and be miserable, the choice is yours to make! Girls basketball is a winter sport but. this is a bit ridiculous. Caught in action, Susan Zurn. nailed an unguarded Paul Hancock with a snow ball. Winter 4l
