WAUKESHA, Wis. — People are out enjoying the snow in Waukesha. With schools open, the sledding hills were empty during the day, but the dog parks were busy.

People and their pets were out enjoying the snow in Minooka Park.

The dog area in the park had plenty of visitors with their pets.

“It is really a sacrifice I make for my dogs, especially this one,” said Christy Timms, pointing to her golden retriever. “She is pretty furry and is hot all the time, so she loves coming out in the snow.”

Leo Zwisky, 16, decided to try snowboarding down his street. He had his 12-year-old brother, Declan, drive their electric bike and pull him.

“I wanted to go boarding today, but the hill was too far with the snow. The roads are too bad,” said Leo. “Had to find something when we got home.”

Mom wasn’t home, but Dad did tell TMJ4 News he approved of the whole thing.
