Gone away is the bluebird, but you will see skiers, snowboarders, and tubers replacing them at Kewaunee Winter Park. Snowfall totals in January could be one of the lowest in history. Still, the cold temperatures have allowed Kewaunee County Parks Department officials to make up for Mother Nature's shortcomings by making their own snow. That has allowed Winter Park's ski hill and tubing hill to stay open and the Dana Farm ice skating rink to get more use than it has in years as well. Since other outdoor recreation activities like snowmobiling, snowshoeing, and cross-country skiing have been non-existent, Kewaunee County Promotions and Recreation Director Dave Myers says things have been busy on the hills.

Myers hopes they will get some real snow so they don't have to make as much of their own. As long as cold temperatures stay around, he is eyeing a closure date of sometime in March.
