Another 4 inches!

Yesterday the snow began falling (as predicted) like a soft white lace curtain muffling all the sounds outside. It snowed and snowed not the huge flakes of a major snow but not the tiny flakes that don't accumulate either. Depending on location in the metro the forecast was for 2-6 inches it's hard to tell but I think we got about 4 inches here. Once it quit snowing it began blowing around so we have more drifts. Last night it was pretty, today it was trouble! Tanya had work so Rob got out Hank the hulking snowthrower and cleared the drive, I think the fun has gone out of it at this point. They made it less than a mile when a slick spot caused them to stop in a snow drift! I dug out the truck and took the shovel up but a kind soul had stopped and was pulling them out--no harm to either the kids or the car. Luckily, Rob was driving very slowly so they didn't go completely off the road and down the hill which would have required a tow truck. Some of the roads are pretty fair, not our street. The wind is causing sub-zero wind chills so it is very dangerous--we're staying pretty close to home and worrying about those that must be out.

I've nearly finished hauling my office stuff up to the extra room. This is a good thing as I'm not sure we can get anything else in there! Think I may spend a few minutes stacking boxes a little higher in a bit. Also I've nearly finished Brayden's Christmas stocking I'm stitching his name in place. Do you hear the Hallujah Chorus? Unfortunately the fabric to finish the back and my machine are buried in that extra room as is my next cross-stitch project and my hand piecing project. A good reason to stack boxes up!

Have asked to be part of the One Project a Month group again, see I already have the button up, I hope I made the cut! I didn't finish one thing a month last year but this is a new year! Ever hopeful that's me!
