Snowy day

Well today was our first day of the season under snow squall warnings. We did get some real heavy squalls and dh said the roads were very slippery. But we didn’t get the 30 cm (1 foot) of snow they said this morning we would get. Last time I looked we had almost 3 inches.
But the girls had a wonderful time playing in the snow this afternoon! No photos unfortunately, dh had the camera out with him. Maybe tomorrow! Snow is suppose to stick around until mid week when it’s going to rain. BUT the next day we’re back to cold snowy weather. I’m thinking we will have a white Christmas after all.
I managed to fit in a little knitting this afternoon. I’m halfway done another doll leg. I hope to finish that tonight and the arms tomorrow. Then the wee doll needs some clothes!
We have to do some of our bulk shopping this weekend. So I’ll have some time to knit in the van as well. I might start on hat to take with us.
One thing on my list is new snow pants for dd7. I got them out today and oh my has she ever grown taller this year! They were ok for today but just will not due for all winter. Funny because the coat fits just fine. But she’s our tall girl.
I also need some Christmas baking goodies on top of our normal staples. A bit of fabric to finish up a few gifts is on my list as well.
Dh was working on our old snow blower yesterday and just can’t get it to start. We had so much trouble with it last year, it was beyond not funny. So he decided to replace it with a new one today. It sure works great! Hopefully it will give us many, many years of service. Our other old snow blower was built 1976 and a real work horse. At its age it doesn’t owe anyone anything. But perhaps when dh has the time to completely rebuild it, it will be put to good use again.
