Ok our school closed today the first time in history! No visibility, winds of 50 mph, and snow! It has been great other than we will need to teach on Saturday or some such thing. Great knitting if I can figure out the neck and decreases of the Portugal sweater I am working on! We have snow drifts well over 12 feet high, our few roads are closed not trucks can drive around. It started last night and is suppose to end at 6:00 tonight and there is no way it will stop in the next 16 minutes!

Off to more knitting and thinking about the neck of this dang sweater!

Stay safe and warm, and enjoy the time to knit. I'm also dealing with a multiple decrease issue that I know how to make MY way, but the author's way is a bit different than I know. The result is about the same, but not quite. My stitch just doesn't come out as I think the photo shows it. So either the photo is not correct, or most likely I am not knitting the silly think right. Who me? Absolutely !!
Not to boast, but for the first time ever, I'm off to enjoy a 5 day cruise. Which is why it is only 5 days. Some folk LOVE it, others don't. We'll see, but I will learn this darn stitch during that time, that is for sure.

Sorry you are having such tough weather, I know you are used to something similar, but it gets hard when you can't get out when you want to get out.
Again, stay warm, stay safe, and keep on knitting!

No flowers here, yet! But I'm dreaming about my veggie garden and what I want to grow besides the required tomatoes and green beans. I also ordered some red raspberry bushes. I've never grown those and I just LOVE red raspberries! At least you know this weather has to get warmer eventually.

Raspberries are my favorite. At the family home in MOntana we have them there and they are my favorite! They do spread out so keep an eye on them. You will love them! Nothing is better than walking out into the garden with a bowl picking them onto my cereal, sitting on the deck and eating breakfast . . . bliss!

Our storm seems to have passed and we have mountains of snow now and it looks wonderful out there!

I just looked up Unalakleet, Alaska, on goolemaps - It looks like it must be a beautiful area with all that water! I'm glad you're enjoying your blizzard.

It' fun to be snowed in as long as you have power, water, food and yarn! We just received about 6 inches of new snow here in Sturgeon Bay, Wisconsin, yesterday - we needed it to cover up all the old dirty snow. It does look beautiful.

We have NEW snow today, Green grass yesterday, If you do not like the weather just wait 20 minutes...LOL...like everywhere else. I just LOVE snow, not ice. We have daffodils poking their heads up. Mac dug carrots and parsnips a few days ago. Yummy. Soon will be SPRING and we have not made it to Florida yet! Soon all the Snowbirds will be coming North. Into a 5 hour Baby Sweater with Hood. Red for Good Luck. Have fun on your Cruise. Please Report how you enjoyed it or not. Grace, Love and Prayers. God Bless.

I've got daffodils poking through the ground also. Now the snow has them all covered again.

Six more inches of snow today. All the paths were melted down to the grass too.

We are supposed to have more snow tomorrow, but the deep stuff will likely be a bit east of us. Think the flowers are on vacation down south as nothing is sticking it's nose out. Have been looking through Gurney's site and dreaming of nice weather to plant the garden. Vegetables, not flowers. Every rose I put in dies!

Out of the world skiing yesterday as there was almost no wind and it was even about +20 F.

We will have snow into April for sure and then it will slowly start to melt. It has been a long winter and we still have the Iditarod dog sled race to come through.

Knitting . . . Working on 2 sweaters one I love and one I want done!

Well, in Birmingham, the forsythia is blooming, the quince is about to come forth, and the Bradford pears are full of buds. The daffodils are just about GONE but the tulips are getting ready for their arrival. My climbing roses are just beginning to show leaf buds. The Easter lilies are beginning to poke through, too. It was 25 degrees when I took our new puppy out for his constitutional this am. And best of all, Lacrosse season kicks off this afternoon. It will be in the 50's we hope.

Bill your part of the US sounds wonderful!

We are suppose to have another storm today, but when lives this far north that is normal.

However, I do dream of seeing color out side other than white. For now the colors will be in the yarns I knit.

Greetings:

The daffodils are flowering. I have cut daffodils on my desk as I type.

I don’t know the flower name but they look like baby daffodils which are in full bloom under my dwarf Japanese maple tree.

And the peach trees are all in bloom.

Sorry,

David

Since other people have broken the taboo, I will brag a bit. Here in Puget Sound country we've had an unusually hard winter also. Way too much snow! I lived in Buffalo, NY for 5 years and I'm allergic to snow. However, I do have minature daffodils and primroses in bloom, the camellias are about to pop and the temp should be in the mid 50's today with lots of sun. That is just to make us unhappy with the 3 more months of mostly cloudy and rainy that is sure to come. Flowers will be in bloom though. Just north of us there are farms that raise tulips and daffodils and the fields will be spectacular.
