Wednesday morning 7:00. There's a thick layer of ice and now the snow has begun. So far the power has stayed with us but the cable/internet was down for a few hours last night.

So frustrating! Yesterday I finally felt like I was getting back to normal after the pneumonia and I can't
go any place.

At least I do have plenty of cheese to go with this whine!:)

mayday

lovely, may I join you?

Actually we would love to join you..we have visited your country a couple times - once for a three week run about - and very much enjoyed!!!

It's almost 4 PM EST, and I just came in from shoveling out the car and there was about 18"-20" of snow on my car, from both storms, heavy on top, lighter on the bottom, so not too bad to clean off, but the snow was ridiculous! I'm a bit over 5' and the undisturbed snow on the lawn is at my shoulder, my walkway is a tunnel, sides of car had a bout 4' and the front of the car had a bout 2'! I don't recall in my 57 years, ever seeing so much accumulated snow at one time. Another on the way for Saturday!

There are lots of building collapses in the towns that had the sleeta about 30-40 miles south of me.

Pux Phil did NOT see his shadow...early spring on the way! Does this prediction ever work?

Got one quilt bound and another top completely done! Love snow days!

I'd believe poor Pux Phil if he didn't have to be dragged out of his home! I've always thought it wasn't fair.

Over here in Portland, OR, our zoo's equivalent apparently didn't see his shadow either, so early spring...as soon as the East Winds quit and the temperature is allowed to climb to the "unseasonably high" levels we've had this year.
I just look out the window and go by what I see...and I haven't seen the squirrels lately. The sea gulls have been circling inland, which indicated a somewhat stormy conditions near waterways, but nothing serious.

I love nature's animals - they tell us so much, don't they?

We are frozen in here in central Ohio, but I was planning on going to LQS today, and even they are closed. Now you know it has to be bad if they think quilters won't go out in it!

We have been spared all the deep snow, but thick layer of ice has done it's damage. As of the news last night, there were still about 8000 homes and businesses without power. The temperature keeps dropping so I pray they can fix this quickly. Ice is problematic because the lines can be down at individual homes increasing the number of repairs.

Do I sound like someone familiar with this situation?

Anyway, all of our families have been fortunate to be spared this time. We are still waiting to hear how bad things are around our daughter who lives up by South Bend.

Here in Mich we are in the single digets below zero wind chill. It is too cold to go out so I stay in and sew......
