The Never-Ending Snowstorm--Day 6


On the final day of 2009 we could still see grass (a rarity for Western New York!).  That changed on January 1st when the New Year brought us what will here-on-out be called "The Never Ending Snowstorm".
It has snowed for 6 days and is supposed to continue for all of the forseeable future.  It's so cold the salt isn't melting it off the roads so the roads are coated with a slimy, slippery powder that is not fun to be in.  So how is this craft related, you may be wondering?  It's keeping me home instead of hitting up all those great sales at Michael's and other stores I keep hearing about!  People on the message board (they must live in the Florida Keys) are out buying $3500.00 worth of paper, stamps, and punches for about .30 cents!  And I'm missing it all!!!!  It's a 50 minute drive to M's and not worth getting $3500.00 worth of stuff for .30 cents if I slip in the slush and destroy a $25,000.00 car.  Or......is it?

  1. LOL.. no Ramona, I agree it's not worth it. Wow, that's a lot of snow. Stay safe.

    I am so excited, I am doing Ted's challenge (hope I am not too late) it's my first challenge, hoping to get it posted today.

  2. Looks just like it does here....do you go to the Michael's in Greece? If so, I went and it isn't worth it. I haven't been to JoAnn's or AC Moore...but Hobby Lobby is now online!
    And the snow goes on.....

  3. Yup--I wanted to go to Greece--thanks for the info. Won't risk life and limb. I forgot about Hobby Lobby being online now. Thanks for the reminder!

  4. No sale is worth your safety. There will always be another sale. Stay safe and warm.

  6. thanks for the encouragement you left on my blog. :) As for the snow and the sales, I think you are better off staying home and buying online. We are expecting snow here in NW Alabama tomorrow. Not usual for us, I hope it lasts just a day. :) I rather see sunshine than snow.

  7. That certainly is a lot of snow!! Overhere in the UK we are having a lot of snowtrouble, but the place where I live (Hull) only has a little bit of snow. Not that that is any good for a Michael's sale, cos we dont have a Michael's (or hobbylobby or wallmart or any good stuff) overhere ... so *cry* ...
