Let it snow! Let it snow! Let it snow!

And snow it did! This is what I woke up to this morning. A beautiful winter wonderland! It started snowing last night between 4 and 5 pm. We decided it was a pizza night and when we went to pick up the pizza around 6pm (we only live 2 blocks from Cottage Inn Pizza) it was really coming down. It had stopped by the time I got up this morning but we had gotten about 8 inches.
This is the first pass my hubby made with the snow blower down the driveway and I used my boot to try to give some kind of reference. I’m sure that any neighbors who were out blowing snow or shoveling thought I was totally insane to be outside snapping pictures with my digital camera. Oh well. I don’t care. Just don’t tell them they’re right.

Hubby did get up bright and early to clear the driveway for me. The little blur to the left is him. It’s too bad he couldn’t snow blow the road. Our neighborhood is one of the last to be plowed. So I had a lot of fun trying to navigate our little car through the deep snow. (Our 4-wheel drive SUV is at the dealership awaiting installation of a tow hitch.) The main road was plowed though so that wasn’t so bad. I saw an ambulance being towed this morning. That’s bad. There was also 2 tow trucks blocking most of an intersection. Driving the 1.3 miles to work this morning was loads of fun. My brother who is going to school about 50 miles from here was wondering if the weather man might have mis-spoke. The weather man said to expect 2-4 inches (they got about 8 also) and my brother thinks he might have meant 2×4 inches. His mind works in mysterious ways. (BTW Boo, this was a lake enhanced winter snowstorm, not lake effect snow.)

In knitting news, I’ve started knitting the second ball of yarn for the SIL scarf. I’m really liking how it’s turning out. I snapped a quick pic this morning before venturing out in the snow. It’s just over 3 feet long right now and I plan to use all the yarn so it should be between 5-6 feet when I’m done. It’s so soft! I’m going to have to buy some of this yarn (Rowan Soft Baby) to make a scarf for me. I wouldn’t use bamboo needles again though. A little too grabby for this yarn I think. It’s not too bad but I think I’d like slicker needles with this yarn better. Maybe I’ll try my Addi’s next time.
