Redmond Snow Report

Well. So. It's been a wintry week of snow.

Dan and I went to a farewell get together for Ray and Raney, who are moving to the East Coast. Ray got a job with Bethesda which is good for them but sad for us. The party was a friend of theirs in Bothell and there were some hills that were sort of scary for me.

I love how pretty snow looks but icy streets are something else. I worried myself into a near-migraine as we drove back home. Not that I worry about Dan's driving; he's from Ohio, where snow is a known quantity. I worried about other drivers taking on much more than they can really handle.

It's snowing now again. Our entire yard is a huge mound of snow. The winds last night swept together drifts against the glass door of our deck. It covered the front walk that I'd swept yesterday morning. I can't tell how much has actually fallen any more as it's blown around, melted underneath into ice and blown around again.

I really hope Chris's flight tomorrow won't be too horribly affected by the weather. Bonnie's already canceled her trip so we won't get to see her after all. =( On the bright side (kind of), at least Chris isn't going to miss work during the week if he needs to wait for another flight. We scheduled his flights to avoid as many work nights for him as possible. With so much snow and ice on the ground, though, I am a-feared of lending him Old Paint to toodle around with up here, especially given the hills around his dad's place.

My latest knitting project is a hat for Dan from a lovely mossy wool. It should be done by this afternoon and then I'll go back to finishing up my second Lady Eleanor, which I'd put aside to work on Xmas gifts and stuff for other people.
