Brrrr...

So... Much... Snow...


We had quite a doozy this weekend. I think I read somewhere that the city total was 21.5 inches. Based on how long it took to shovel out my car, I'm thinking that's on the low side of an estimate. Ah, Buffalo, how I love shoveling the side of the street street so I can get enough of a path to establish momentum to jump into the ruts in the center of the street. All just so I can skid around the block and park on the other side of the street where I'll have to repeat the process should I care to go anywhere today.

Shovel inserted for scale.


The snow was very pretty, in all honesty and if I didn't have to deal with practical problems like car moving, I wouldn't have minded our winter weekend one bit.

I've been hunting around for my next large lace project and after this weekend, I think I'm going to wait for the snow shawl to come out from Anne at Knitspot. Seems like the perfect project for a Buffalonian!

Just stopping in to say hi! I had a good laugh reading your 7 things meme! Hope the snow melts soon. You can always come to NOLA for a visit, it's supposed to get back up to 80 for this weekend, but with your travel luck, I'm not sure you might bring the snow with you! :)

Well, I hope you built yourself an igloo of warm yarn, maybe a yarn with some mohair so it's nice and glinty.
