Winter Came Back

The day started off clear, though too cold for my liking. The weather reports were talking about a winter storm coming this afternoon, but one never knows how accurate their predications will be. Unfortunately, it looks like this time they got it right.

The winter storm warning turned to a blizzard warning and we were let go from work at 3 p.m. today. One of my co-workers, who was leaving even earlier, told me he was going to go clear off his car and that he'd clear our boss' car at the same time. So I jokingly asked about my car and he said, "Which one is it?" I told him not to worry about it and he went on his way. He came back a little while later still bundled up and carrying an ice scraper to ask me where I was parked. And you know what? He scrapped all the ice from my car! What a sweetheart!

It was a long, slow drive home. Though I did get quite a bit of knitting done on the drive. Don't worry, I only knitted while the car was stationary...unfortunately, it was stationary a lot. But check this out...


Yep, our sidewalk has been cleared. I was pretty excited not to have to trudge through a bunch of snow to get to the house. Ah, now doesn't this sight just make you want to grab a snow shovel and join in? Yeah, me neither.


So, who do I have to thank for the clear sidewalk? Why Julius of course!


He was in a much better mood over the snow than I was...see, he's trying to earn money for a new game controller. I hope the predictions of a foot or more of snow by tomorrow afternoon are wrong. I've already had to cancel part of my weekend plans. Oh well, guess I will be getting a lot of stuff done at home.
