As it is written, thou shalt love Wisconsin weather; for when the Springtime cometh, verily there shall be four types of precipitation to water the plain, yea five shall bring variety to the landscape of the state. There shall be rain at eventide and sleet at the ending of the day; there shall be hail during the first watch of the night and thunder shall be the punctuation thereof; moreover, the morning shall return rejoicing, bringing his sleet with him, and he shall give snow sufficient unto the next two-score and eight hours, in varieties sufficient to the pleasing of an Eskimo, and it shall come to pass, after seven cold, calm days and seven cold, calm nights, there shall be Spring.
