Chantilly 18

OK let's go with that. 18" of snow. I don't know if more is to come. I do know that we have snow drifts much higher. Powdery snow blowing around everywhere. It's pretty. It's definitely cold.
Everything is shut down. That's the good thing. So much less to worry about, especially not having Uncle Phil driving to and from work.
Oh boy. Weather report says more snow is coming- could be a foot more. It's funny to see the split screen. Male meteorologist indoors in a shirt and tie. Female reporter outdoors in the elements all bundled up.
High winds but perhaps not enough to qualify as a blizzard after all, We will see.

It's 7:44 Somewhere

Like in California, where John and the kids are visiting Alice. Things here in Virginia are pretty calm. I have been spending a lot more time downstairs in the craft room, trying out some things. Although I am overwhelmed with stuff, I couldn't resist an offer from Fun Stampers Journey to sign up and get a pile of products for $99.... I keep telling myself it's time to stop buying and start using, stop watching videos and start doing...
In some ways it's harder when I am by myself because I have way fewer external time pressures, fewer excuses to not get things done.
10:49 a.m. here, 7:49 a.m. in California.
