After several days of various predictions, today in Central Connecticut we are supposed to have 6-8" of snow. Had a beautiful sunrise, but now clouds have arrived and snow is expected soon. Until yesterday - when the temperature reached 35, we had four days where we were below freezing with gusty winds. This is why I was asking for simple sock patterns and I thank you all for sharing yours. Hugs, Joan
Hi Joan,
Wasn't it nice of the gals in Canada to send the snow to you?
Hugs,

Nora, don't forget - we had to keep some of it here for ourselves ;>P I hope that's the last of it for this year, but I know better than to count on that (laugh). Had to use DH's truck to get to the post office today! Some of the roads aren't plowed yet.

We have JUST A BIT snow here, cold to be near the coast(12*F) but we had sunshine and hardly wind.
BUT:.. the South part and the East part of Norway is "drowning in snow". My brother told me they have nearly 1,5 m now.
This BEAUTIFUL picture is from Oslo.

It has snowed all day and is expected to continue until 1 - 2 AM with some sleet and freezing rain mixed in. However, to counteract the weather here, I tuned in to YES network at 1PM and watched Yankee Spring Training BASEBALL!!!!!!!!
Hi Aud,
That first picture is beautiful even with all the snow on the trees. That's one thing everyone has noticed this winter, the snow is sticking to the trees more then other years, not only the wet snow, but the fluffy kind too. It usually lasts for a couple three days which is so unusual.
Hugs,
Nora
Oh my, how beautiful! What a coincidence, I just came in from watching the Nova program on Roald Amundsen's traversing the Northwest Passage. (I knitted at a sock with an afterthought heel as I watched, does that put the thread back on topic?) And during the part about Amundsen learning about navigation in the waters around Oslo, I remarked to my husband that I often see the most beautiful pictures of Norway thanks to rcty's Aud.
The program about Amundsen followed the one about the Franklin expedition in mid-19th-century to find the Northwest Passage, and the Franklin one was wildly overdramatized. It's an amazing story anyway, why do these TV people think they have to try to make it so much more so?
I learned so much about Amundsen, had no idea he learned so much from the native people that carried him through to the South Pole later. In hindsight, it seems so logical to ask people who live there how to get from one place to another instead of loading up a ship with all the comforts of home and start blundering around ;)
