I'm in North Texas, and the weather guys are saying it's been the coldest since at least 1996. We might set records this week.

I just don't remember it EVER being this cold here. (yeah, I'm a cold-weather wuss...)

In Cedar Rapids, Iowa we have had high winds, blowing snow and blizzard conditions. Interstate 80 is really bad, and lot of schools let out at 12:30 today. This blizzard is suppose to continue all night until after noon on Wed. Guess the snow blower will really be getting a work out. Think we are suppose to get 16" of snow before its all over.

Everyone stay safe and stay warm. And maybe do a little quilting.

My family is in Ok, and are experiencing blizzard conditions since about 3:00AM. Not supposed to let up for a couple of days. My heart goes out to you all. Hope the power holds up to all the ice

I'm in Lowell, MA, and I just saw about 20 trucks come rolling down the street. Appears to all be electrical companies, probably here in case of loss of power. I hope they don't have to sleep in their trucks overnight. Second storm is supposed to start right about now.

Do you think the mailcarrier even found yours??? :-P :-P
Can't do anything about it, so might just as well make the best of it. As long as you are warm, have food and water and your quilting...There will be time enough for everything else when the snow is gone...whenever nature decides enough is enough.

Well, it is 12:56am EST and I can just hear the sleet starting now. It was bright and sunny most of the day, I kept peeking out the window to catch the snow...nothing all day. At 3pm the schools here cancelled for Wed., so after dinner I headed to the sewing room... hence the lateness of this. I just finished up a 24 x 24 quilt top. I saw an avatar on the board and decided to see if I could figure it out...I did! I like looking at the avatar pics for ideas as much as what is posted.
