On No Here's The Snow!!





And this is why I wouldn't want to be going to Knitting On The Square in Chardon, Oh today. One week later this is what we got up to today in the secondary snow belt--and yes this is Lake Effect Snow. For those of you who don't know what Lake Effect Snow is--it is when the winds blow across the not frozen waters of the Great Lakes (for us Lake Erie and sometimes from Lake Huron) and voila--snow is created. This is not the worst snow storm I have ever seen--but it sure is early in the year for this much snow. We have at least 7 or 8" total out there and are expecting more.

The awful part is I have to work today and get to drive on those awful roads--not to mention how much I hate cleaning off the car. We do have a huge pole barn--but it is filled with antique cars--tractors etc.

As far as knitting and crocheting goes--I am trying to finish my Grandson's afghan and am working on a pair of socks and a NovemberWrap. This is a ravelry Link--if you are not signed up go to ravelry.com and sign up for an invite. This is truly the best knitting community in the world.

Well that is about it today. Happy knitting to all.

Love the snow! Not so thrilled that nobody was cleaning the roads! It was 12:30 am last night before we even saw a snow plow on the main roads! Doug insisted we still go out. We were in Y-town. It snowed and snowed and the roads were BAD! We got about 6" yesterday.

At least it covers up the leaves on the ground. We still have leaves on the trees out front, and one tree is still mostly green!
