Let It Snow...

When I went to play with the dogs today - I saw the neat little path that had been snowblown through the snow from yesterday and Friday...That's a lot of snow!!! (Click to enlarge)

The bottom two photos were taken from my bedroom window - lots of snow in the plant life!

More snow due Wednesday!!!

Ice Storm...

One of my quilt guilds had their Christmas party today. When I left the house at 9:00 a.m. - it was snowing very lightly...at Noon when it was time to head for home - it was beginning to spit ice. Kept hearing these little pings on my windshield and little tiny chunks of clear hard water landing on my car hood! I could see through them...Yep - that would be ice. (Yes, I know I still find the weather here in New England to be fascinating!)

Got home safely - but, my area is the one that is outlined in pink on the weatherman's chart on Channel 9 - and I sure hope we don't lose power.

So, I'm going to cuddle up in my pj's, watch a little tv, and knit...(trying to get a Christmas present done tonight!)

Have a safe evening!!!

Snow...December 3...

Snow! Did someone say snow? Oh, I love snow...I love the way the world looks covered in snow...pure, clean, ethereal! Guess I haven't been a New Englander long enough to hate snow! And, how does one hate something so gorgeous!

This was the view from outside the back door of my apartment building. Look at how the snow just hovers on the branches of those trees.
How about this close up?
Kind of takes your breath away - and I know these were taken in color - but, the day has been so gray and so much snow falling that the photos look almost black and white.
The station wagon directly behind that little tree is my car. You will note there is a lot of snow on top of it! And, it is the fun stuff - fluffy!!! When I had to go move my car from one parking lot to the other so they could plow - the snow was so soft and fluffy...
The sun just came out ... and now the snow is glistening! Have a great day!

Internet Back Up...

It has been a weird few days here weather-wise...slush (a mixture of snow, rain, and ice), snow, rain, and more snow! Our poor state is under a State of Emergency again...and I feel for everyone who has had a worse time than we have. Roads have washed out and it has been very tricky out there.

I've had mother home with me since Friday...and Day Out was closed due to no power on Monday and today...have no idea if they will be open tomorrow...just wait for the phone call at 6:30

We've been fortunate and kept our power - yet two streets over there has been no power. We lost our Internet due to the storm but it just came back on...I will try and get caught up tomorrow.
