Snowmageddon

As you know, I hate to be left out of a trend. Soooo, without further adieu - (a dew?) here are MY photo's of the most recent snowstorm from hell. Starting with something you just don't see everyday. Namely snowshoing in downtown Alexandria, Virginia. These were both taken on the one and only time I set foot outside from Friday morning through Monday morning. We ended up with around 2' of the nasty, white stuff. At my office in Columbia, MD they had closer to 3' and my "s" word is a different one. The parking lot is full of icebergs. But my patio was just a drifted pile of white fluff. My dog, on the otherhand misses Michigan and doesn't mind the snow at all. She actually hurt her shoulder, yesterday, playing in snow. At 10 she's just not as agile as she used to be (I can relate to that....). It was pitiful, it must have hurt to lay down - she spent all day and night sitting and crying. She seemed better today. And I spent $12 on a bottle of doggy aspirin (yes, I would have bought the Wal-green kind if I could have negotiated the ice flows between me and their parking lot.
My son was in town, flew in Thursday and will leave EARLY in the morning after his flight this morning was cancelled (did I mention it snowed? A boatload?) He'll get out between storms, before we get another 10-20" tomorrow. Hell, I'm moving to Buffalo - it has better weather. But he did get to pick up his scarf: I used the Palindrome pattern I found on Ravelry , using Miss Bab's wool . We were both (son and I) happy with the result. I didn't attempt to block it both because it's a super-wash and unlikely to change much and it's for a 23 year old guy who could give a rat's ass about such things. It's really soft and quite stretchy - a good thing here. He can wrap it around his neck and it will spring back and keep out drafts without getting tight.
I'm also working on a scarf swap, but I goofed and contacted my scarfee directly and she could easily trace me to here since my blog is referenced on Ravelry. So that has to stay a surprise until it's received. Surfice to say I've frogged 3 times and changed my pattern twice.
Next up will be my finished quilt/wall hanging. I'm happy enough with it - it's just small. But I haven't photographed it yet. Maybe tomorrow, afterall, tomorrow is another (snow) day. Bleck.
