It finally stopped snowing -- we have about 12 inches with snowdrifts reaching 2 feet plus. We didn't loose power because KU trimmed all trees near power lines after the fiasco of 2009. We lost TV service because the dish was covered with snow yesterday -- I braved the drifts and swept the dish clear and sanity was restored.

We are now dealing with the aftermath of all the sleet, ice and snow that has fallen the last two days. The roads are a sheet of ice and the governor is still asking people to stay home. Of course the grocery store doesn't care about employee safety. DH got a text last night that it's work as usual today. He left home at 5:30am and the usual 10 minute drive took him an hour. He called to let me know he made it safely and said it was the worst he'd ever seen. He's gone into work no matter how bad the weather for 45 years!

It snowed 28" here. This was our first snow of the season. It has been a very warm winter to this point. It was a blinding whiteout blizzard yesterday... the worst I've ever seen.
An angel with a snow blower came to my house yesterday. The halo was hard to see under his hood, but I could see it shining through. He literally spent hours at my house. He wouldn't take anything for his labor so I'm making him a cake today.
Unfortunately, the streets have not been plowed. Once they do, I will probably be stuck with a mountain of snow at the end of the driveway. I hope God sends his angel back!
It's very quiet in the neighborhood...

We're mostly dug out from the almost 3 ft of snow here. 3 out 4 cars out of the driveway and its been plowed. Hoping for some sun melt there this afternoon. The front walks have been shoveled and a path to the hot tub on the back deck. Just wanted to get all the snow off it so the cover didn't break. Hubs gets the bonus in the am of actually being able to get to it. Snow is deeper in the back yard than the 120 lb dog is tall. Leash walking older 85 lb dog as she is getting stuck in the snow in the yard. We never lost power, thankfully. Down side, coulg not get to the LQS yesterday and they decided not to open today. So no backing/binding fabric for the top I just finished. Hopefully they will be open after work tomorrow.

We have beautiful sunshine today and it is supposed to get into the 40's. We had sunshine and upper 30's yesterday and the snow is almost off my van, but the snowplows have blocked all the driveways. A couple more days like today and I should be able to get out. I have been mostly knitting but plan to work in my sewing room later today.
