Yes, a full blown SNOW event! What a simply glorious sight to behold this morning!
It took a little bit for me to get the door open this morning -- I had forgotten that might be an issue! But it's light, powdery snow, so I was able to get it pushed aside. I wanted snow, but I couldn't have imagined getting this lovely blanket!
At first I panicked because I couldn't find my yardstick. And then I thought, "Wait a minute, I'm a quilter. I have RULERS and lots of 'em!"
Ten inches here. It's still flurrying a bit, but I think for the most part, it's moved out of the area.
My poor little Princess Buttercup. Her first owner lived in Florida, so I'm sure she lived a much sunnier life on her first go 'round. I've never been able to understand, in light of that, why she has heated seats, but I'm so grateful she does!
Gosh, I hope there's nothing in the car that I may have wanted . . . !
Here's a view out the door to the side. I love snow-covered trees!
And how the snow evens the playing field, so to speak!
Out our back window, the birds are out in full force -- and very loud! The feeders were full -- all seven of them -- and the only one that's rather out of commission is the tray feeder, since it's completely covered by a mound of snow. Though as I look out at it, a titmouse is playing 'king of the hill' trying to figure out where his regular food source has gone!
The little downy woodpecker found some snow-free suet. Usually they're a little skittish when we're near the window, but not this morning. Evidently the snow emboldens them a bit!
They're saying we may have another inch or so coming in -- and our official total for New Market is 11 inches. The temps are to go above freezing today or tomorrow . . . not until Friday, actually! It'll be interesting to see what this does to businesses and schools. EMA is reporting all roads are impassable.
With a view like this, who would want to go anywhere?!? I just hope my darling Todd can make it home, if he's even relieved.
As for me, I've got books, movies, my laptop and plenty of fabric. I imagine I'll do just fine!
