I am 100 miles south of Chicago. Won't be going anywhere today or tomorrow. Our daughter was suppose to leave on her honeymoon Thursday morning from Chicago. That is canceled. Not sure when she will be going. Hopefully Friday morning.

Started snowing here in Michigan about an hour ago. If the power doesn't go out, I have lots of things to work on.

3 days of wicked weather here. The storm is winding down here and moving on to the east. So far we have 3" of sleet/ice on the pavements. Blizzard conditions tonight thru tomorrow. I want SUMMER!

Would you all like to come visit me for a while? We live on the ocean and our crocuses are blooming and the daffs and tulips are up! I'll save room for you in my living room-just let me know!

That mid-west storm is on it's way to New England and we will see it start in the wee hours of Wednesday for a 24 hour duration. We had a storm today that put another 10" on top of the 3' that is already on the lawn. The storm tonight will bring about 18" more, so we are technically buried. At least I will be getting all snow, but about 30 miles south of here, they are going to get sleet and freezing rain.

I made a quilt top this past weekend, put the borders on today, and am cutting out another quilt tonight, so I can sew all day tomorrow and watch the snow come down. I'm not attempting to go anywhere and that includes work!
