Um... Nearly Three Feet of Snow Later...

Ok. It looks like they're clearing the roads pretty good around here, and not much else is sticking, right now, but it hasn't stopped snowing since I wrote my last entry (just before the power shut down temporarily and I didn't bother to turn the computer back on...) yesterday.

Took more than an hour to dig out the front walk and two cars. Wanna see how much snow was on em? Ok:




Was a little worried I might not make it to the last Tight Knit tomorrow. If it snows a lot more tonight, and isn't cleared before I have to leave at 6am (yep, that's when I have to leave to get there by 8am to set up by 9am), then I may not be able to get out of the complex (condo apartments). Though, I am packing the car as soon as I finish writing this just in case. I'm feeling hopeful since it's been pretty warm since we dug out, so there hasn't been any accumulation on the cars or walk since we finished and it's looking clearer all the time.

Well... it looks a bit like this on our deck:


(Phil took that and did the effect on his iPhone. Pretty spiffy, noh?!)


And a bit like this outside, down below:


(This is the road in and out of the compound)


(This is a neighbors car. The only neighbor who didn't come out to play with shovels like the rest of us. We don't know them.)


So, that's the aftermath of the big storm. Unless it gets worse tonight, and not cleared again before I have to leave, I will see you all tomorrow in Troy, at the last Tight Knit Market for the Winter - cause it rained most of the day there!

New Hudson River Market


[Another quicky... this officially makes the most blog posts I've ever written in one week...]

The NewNew and Hudson Valley Etsy Street Teams teamed up with Paper Presence and are having the Fall Calvalcade in Beacon on the same day as the next Hudson River Market. So, I thought I'd better put up a big notice for the 5 or so people who read my blog and live close enough to come down and help make all our days - on the lawn on Main Street - next Saturday!

That's next Saturday, September 12th, from 11am-6pm; just like the sign above says. [Click on the post title for a Google Maps link to the actual location, and on the poster image for the full size to print for your collection]

Thanks in advance, and I hope everyone has a great long weekend!
