Here we are again; another foot of snow fell overnight and into this morning. Snow day. I wonder how many snow days we'll get this season. It sure it shaping up to be another snowy winter. Last season we surpassed the city's previous snowfall record by about 30 inches, and that was just ridiculous. I'm not sure how anyone deals with more than 100 inches of snow in a season on a routine basis. Our city certainly isn't equipped to handle this much snow in a timely manner. I expect they won't even plow our cul-de-sac until late into tonight. This morning already, I have seen three of my neighbors get stuck. Hey neighbors, stay home. The snow is too deep for your average fuel-efficient tiny car (this is Madison, after all.) It gets stuck under the body of your car.
Meanwhile, I have been working on some knitting. This is another Christmas present, and it's almost finished. I didn't quite follow the recommended color pattern, but I love denim yarn so much, and this seemed like a perfect application.

The meteorologists say that we're to get another 4-6 inches over the weekend. At some point I've got to stop being frustrated and just let it happen. I'm sure that'll happen any day now...

your kids must love the snow at least! Sorry you're stuck at home. I love the snake thing. Great colors!
Sounds like you got the snow we were expecting. At least the kids are enjoying things! Love the snake colors!
I seriously don't know how you do it with the snow, dude. I hope it lets up on you guys soon! the snake is so adorable - your color choices rock!
I hear you on the snow! We recently moved back to NC where we don't get much at all but for two years we were near Syracuse, NY. Our first winter there we got about 200 inches! Hope the kids are enjoying it at least!
"hello happy new year"
