THE BLIZZARD

It took over 3 weeks for the previous snow, which turned into white rock hard ice, to disappear and now this.  Below is the view out my front door toward the driveway out from the property.  The snow totals reported say Seaford has received 19" of snow.  Have heard on local radio more snow is expected.  But I can't tell if what I'm seeing in the air is fresh snowfall or blowing from the trees.

Next is a view from the kitchen toward the deck.  Notice how the tree is bent with the weight of the snow and a few of the small limbs have broken.  Yesterday I cleaned the deck of all the branches from the previous snowfall.

And from the garage side you can see this limb is almost touching the ground.  Wouldn't surprise me if it snapped off.

Walking around the house looking out the windows there are a LOT of small and big limbs to be picked up.  Some in my driveway which will need picking up before I can leave the property; that is when I'd consider venturing out.  So much for global warming.

I live in Sussex county where numerous power outages have been reported.  Thankfully I have power, at least for now.  Local radio station, in talking to a major power company indicated it may take days before everyone would have power again.  And with the heavy snow on trees, another limb could break lines causing more outages as they work to restore others.

While I still have power will enlarge a pattern for someone and put it on linen.  Not sure when I'll venture out to ship it but at least it will be ready to go when that time comes.  And of course will do some hooking, binding a rug will continue as well as sewing on a few more labels.  Lots to keep me busy inside.
