Today I'm sat safely, and warmly watching the snow attempting to settle from the comfort of the apartments windows and having tomato soup for lunch. While today isn't the first time we've had some attempt at snow in metropolitan Detroit it's definitely one of the coldest. We're barely been breaking the freezing point, if at all in the past week or so. Today's high is only a magnificent -2ºC, yet it feels much, much colder. Saying that, and from what I've seen of UK weather, there's seems to be lacking the great snow falls that we would normally have had by now. How I remember fondly my vain attempts of busing to York in great snow falls in East Yorkshire with the buses running up to an hour late or just not running at all.
With great timing however, I did finally manage to finish the first crochet blanket I've made in a long while. There's nothing better then snuggling under a home made blankie and keeping your toes warm - especially when you know what the weather is doing outside. I managed to get the wool at half price back in November and with the remnants and the other spare wool ends I'm off to start another blanket, this time to use for our road trips and picnics - in the hope of ensuring the coming of nicer weather!
