A Dusting of Snow for Rosie

We had a bit of snow yesterday and the temperature plummeted, so it was still here this morning.

Rosie was delighted.

 The sun is shining on the ice on the pond.  The low temp last night started the inevitable slide into winter.

Finally in February

Finally, we got a real snow storm.  The kind where the snow is wet and heavy and sticks to the branches.

The kind of snow that packs and makes really good snowballs.

And finally, I'm putting up a post.  I made this jacket for my daughter for her birthday.  Oh yeah, I planned it to match her boots.  

And there's a wee bit of action on my cutting table....

Blizzard 2010!

I had a couple of requests for my snow pictures.

We have been under a blizzard warning for the past 24 hours.

We received only eight or ten inches of snow, but it was preceded by a lot of rain, so the snow really stuck to the branches and is weighing them down.

The stupid fake fruit tree is really beautiful with all that snow.

The only sport is clearing the driveway.

Rosie loves this weather.

After the sky clears, it's beautiful.  But really cold.  Brrrrrr...

What a Blizzard Looks Like

We're under a blizzard warning until midnight tonight. Then we'll be under a wind chill warning. Too much snow to go out now, too cold and windy to go out later. Schools, malls, and all "non-essential" workplaces are closed.

Wet, heavy snow sticks to the branches of the old birch tree out back.
