The last time it was this cold in Wisconsin was 1996, and it's safe to say the way we passed idle time was a lot different, too.
Today, we mostly occupy ourselves with binge-watching on streaming services, or just distracting ourselves with other content circulating on the web. But for those who were alive in 1996 (shoutout to those 22 years old and above!), we waited out the polar vertex a lot differently.
Here are a few ways you can time travel to stay busy like those in the mid-1990s:
- Read a book
- Take a nap
- Watch a VHS tape
- Put together a puzzle
- Learn to crochet
