Record setting cold brought frequent clear skies and Winter Wisconsin beauty

Record setting cold, it was cold for most of the full month of December 2013 and well into January 2014 before temperatures returned to normal.   Local schools were closed several days during the period because of wind chill temperatures of -30 to -40, that's thirty below zero to forty below zero, Fahrenheit.  Celsius temperatures are similar at these temperatures

Augusta Wisconsin Farm Winter Panorama

This is the farm I grew up on.  It is a typical Wisconsin family dairy farm early in the 21st Century.  These family dairy farms are disappearing and being replaced by factory dairy farms
