So, I’d say we got about a foot of snow, though I haven’t actually measured it. I’m more or less estimating from what’s piled on the chair seats out there.

The answer to yesterday’s question? Yes, I had to go to work this morning. Yes, the office was open. Yes, it was snowing. There were about 3 inches of snow on the ground when I woke up, but when the phone rang at 6:55 … the message we needed on the phone was “Open, but we’ll be closing early.”

So … I headed to work. I got there right on time and was the third person to arrive. Usually there are about eight people there. But, no matter … except that there were only the three of us for the next 45 minutes, and when more people arrived? There were a total of SEVEN of us in the office today. You know, instead of the usual 35 or so.

Anyway, judging by the way the snow is piled on the chair seats, I’d say we got about a foot of snow, altogether. It snowed all day but, at least at this point, we didn’t get the wind they had said we would. So … snow, but not blizzard conditions.

Chappy wants you to know that, at lunchtime, the snow was knee-deep out there.

This afternoon, I did a little baking–tried a recipe for Maple-Corn Biscuits because, for whatever reason, snowy days make me want to bake. I did some writing. Wasted time online. (And don’t even try to tell me that you’ve never done that.)

Oh, and my sweater? I wasn’t perfectly happy with the cable arrangement, and I hadn’t realized that two of the cable charts had an extra purl stitch at the edges, which threw off the symmetry. So … I frogged this little bit and am starting over again.

The saddles, by the way? They’re remnants of the original Celtic Dreams. I kind of like the idea of them being in the new version, too!

Isn’t my boy gorgeous, all sparkly with snow flakes, and yearning to be back outside in the snow?
