Only 6 more seams and this baby quilt top will be finished. It had 13 seams in one direction and then I sewed 9 of 15 seams in the other direction. I'll finish sewing the seams this morning and then press it.
We got 4-5" of snow in the very early hours yesterday and then it stopped for a little while and then light rain for most of the day. I measured the snow on the sidewalk and it was 5" of heavy wet snow. I think we have about 8" total of snow on the grassy areas now. I'm hoping the driveway will dry off today because we're going to be in extreme cold Sunday-Tuesday, below 0 at night and a high of 0 on Tuesday. If it doesn't dry off it will be a sheet of thin ice.
The snow piled up on the baffles over the bird feeders. By afternoon the snow had slid off the one on the left.
The branches on the trees had piles of snow too early yesterday. The end of the storm was predicted to only drop about an inch of snow overnight and then clear out. I hope we have some sunshine today.
We're bracing for a winter storm early next week, as well. Of course, in the South 1/2" is debilitating!
ReplyDeleteWhy I moved to Florida last April after the snowstorms in South Dakota. Loving the sunshine.
ReplyDeleteNo snow yet, just rain and high winds. The media have whipped our area into a frenzy about the coming snow. I live about 20 miles from the Bills stadium, so the nation can see if we get any or not tomorrow. The funny thing is that Lake Effect snow from Lake Erie comes in bands, so depending on the location of a band you can be buried or nothing. I am supposed to be on the edge of the band, the stadium, dead center. Lovely,lovely quilt!
ReplyDeleteNo snow here--we got over 3" of rain with a small leak in our tv room!!
ReplyDeleteNice work on your baby quilt--almost together now;))) that is going fast...
51.2 here this morning with dense fog...more grayness...
hugs, Julierose
the baby quilt is such pretty colors. The snow is pretty but understand the need for the sidewalk to dry off. I agree with Libby we are expecting snow on Sunday and it will paralyze central Arkansas this time - thankfully they are expecting the dry stuff not wet heavy like what you got (yours looks wet and heavy)
ReplyDeleteWe got 1" yesterday. I shoveled the slush. About 1" overnight. But just west (other side of the tollway) they got 5"+! Cancellations all over. Our town trash pickup is Friday but Groot called the trucks off the road at 8 a.m. My morning meeting switched from in-person (Libertyville) to Zoom and I rescheduled an appointment from yesterday afternoon until this morning.
ReplyDeleteAll in all, a good weekend to sew!!
Good to see zig zag almost complete.
ReplyDelete-30degrees below 0 this morning 🥶! The weather kids told us it was coming and they were right this time. It did not get above
-7 below all day yesterday . This -30 is to be the lowest day before it slowly begins to warm up. Wickedly cold for sure.

Wow! You've made amazing progress on the baby quilt in such a short time. How do you do it?!
ReplyDeleteWe may have snow midweek and will have two days then with the high in the 30s*F, but it won't last long.
Hugs!
The snow is so pretty! I hope we get some this winter but not the weekend that wee are supposed to fly out of town.
