More snow today. They said between 4 to 6 inches today by the time it’s done later this evening. I took this, this morning around 10am. They also said frigid temps are coming in this evening. For the next 3 days it will be -2F or so in the daytime (ambient temps, so wind chills will take it down they said to -20 to -30) and -17F ambient temps at night, so temps with wind chills around -30F and occasionally down to -40F. BRRR, winter is here. So I am staying toasty warm in the house. I did remember to put “Heet” in my gas tank just in case I have to drive somewhere.
I’ve started on the Te Ara Fingerless Mitts for my friend to help use up her left over yarn from the 3 Color Cowl I knit her. I’ve made these before here . They were fun to knit and I think they look very classic and elegant :). I will be playing a little bit of yarn chicken with this skein. Weight wise, I should barely have enough, but this is a little heavier weight fingering weight and I hate cutting things so close just in case. If it doesn’t work out I will have to frog and use one of the other colors she had left over, but this was the one she wanted them knit out of. Crossing my fingers.
This was the first snow of our 2017-2018 winter. This was a week & 1/2 ago or so. I should have put it up before, but… It wasn’t much, just a dusting, and it has since melted. We are suppose to get some snow tomorrow morning and Monday, so just in time for Christmas, tho it isn’t suppose to be much, maybe a 1/4 to 1/2 inch. This, so far, is a very low moisture winter for us, and I won’t complain about the warmer weather, much better than -40, tho I think Jan will bring much colder temps than we have been having.
