BTDT. Evidently we're in a 48 hour weather cycle...weather pattern repeats every two days. Couple inches of snow, then clear and COLD, couple inches of snow, then clear and COLD, ad nauseum. We've already set a record for snow and it will keep getting reset until we're out of this pattern. We're up to 30" so far. It was -18F (-27C) last night with -36 (-37C) windchill, snow forecast for tonight and tomorrow. yay.

Well, it's getting whiter out there.
I hope it doesn't make it to you.
Thinking the same thing - that or chocolate toffee bars. Made the MIL's recipe for walnut torte earlier. Wow - was that one stiff batter to fold egg whites into. Classic nut torte - no shortening - egg yolks beaten w/ ground nuts, minimal flour, baking soda, vanilla - then beaten egg whites folded in. DH kept saying that he was sure she did it in a 9X13 pan, but I did a 7" X 11" - and that seemed about right.
I did replenish the baking chocolate yesterday (Ghirardelli bars on sale). So, some chocolate will be made.
We had some mini-flurrie's earlier. It's probably cold out - with the wind. I have to go to the bank in a while. We've decided not to go out to our friends in MD tonight - as DH is worried I'll have another migraine, and we'll be 50 mi away. So, I just put dry rub on ribs we bought, and ww'll have our own ridiculous, splurgy, unbalanced New Years eve.

Roughly Na-nai-mo with the stress on the second syllable. It is a contraction of the name for the local indigenous people (Snanaimo) meaning 'great people'.

We got about 7 more inches of snow. Which is fine since the warm spell took us down to grass. DD went sledding for several hours. Good thing, since today's wind chill will make out door time today unlikely.
On the other hand, I think I'll see if there is public skate today for her.

Still blizzarding here and they say, will do so until later today. It seemed darker today when I woke but that was just the window is blocked from top to bottom with snow that has been blasted on to it.
We cancelled our party last night even though it was a bother between three of us to call everybody. Glad we did, we might have arrived okay but would have had to leave shortly after. It doesn't quite feel like the NY has arrived, maybe after the party is held on the weekend lol
Sorry about the weather. It's just really cold for here - well below freezing, and a good amount of wind, still. We were slugs last night, drank a bottle of wine, then had some cordials by the fireplace. And for desert...my first ever sort of failed baking adventure. The walnut torte from DH's mom's file - tasted okay, but the consistency was very soggy. I had my suspicions about the recipe, but when I pulled it from the oven, it passed the toothpick test! I'm going to try again, but slighlty modify the pooportions, based on what I've read from other references - at least the Joy of Cooking!
Anyhow - it's blustery, and have to go get dressed as we're going to brunch at friends, to see all the crew that we didn't go out with last night.
Happy NY - regardless of weather.
