Winter storm Euclid hit western New York State yesterday. I went out early in the day to get my groceries, and by the time I got home at about 11AM the snow started. It never stopped. When I went to bed 12 hours later it was snowing just as hard.<\/p>\n

So when I got up this morning I knew I’d be greeted by quite a bit of snow. I wanted to walk the dog a bit, and figured the road was our only hope – the snow in the driveway would be too deep for him, and the road had likely been plowed at some point during the storm.<\/p>\n

I put on my boots & gaitors to slog through and make a path for my little guy, but I was still surprised by the depth of it all. Here are the tracks I made.
\n\"snow<\/a><\/p>\n

They don’t really tell the story very well, though. So after the dog & I walked on the road for a bit and I got the mail that was delivered yesterday, I went back in the house for a yardstick. Check this <\/em>out.<\/p>\n

\"snow<\/a><\/p>\n

I had planned to work today, but my plans have now changed. My little Yaris isn’t going anywhere until I get a plow up here. Those 14″ are unadulterated snow – there’s much more at the bottom of the driveway where the plow dung has piled up. I’ll call my plow guy as soon as we reach a reasonable time of day – 6:30AM isn’t it.<\/p>\n

While it was snowing I knit 2 hats for my grandson. No surprise that most of the adorable hats he had last year, knit by a few people and store-bought, were outgrown; it just hadn’t occurred to me to make him more hats this year. So now I did.<\/p>\n

Like most knitters\/crocheters\/weavers, I have a stash of plenty of yarn. I just had to go to the cupboard and see what I had that appealed to me. Then go online and find free patterns. Or find patterns first and then check out the yarn. For the first hat I started with pattern first, for a cone hat. Pattern from Lion Brand<\/a> yarn, and their chunky Homespun yarn. It’s not my fav yarn but I liked the pattern & knew it’d work up really quickly.<\/p>\n

\"pointy<\/a><\/p>\n

Then I modified a simple striped hat<\/a> in red (a favorite color of the boy) and white.<\/p>\n

\"flat<\/a><\/p>\n

I’m going to wrap these up and get them out to the mailbox today. Hope they fit his little head.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
