Outside my back door!

This is the scene outside my backdoor!

Keep in mind that there is several inches of the last snow remaining!  This one is wet and heavy, sticking to every thing (which is why it looks so pretty.)  The wind is blowing this time as well so that means drifts.  I'm in the bull's eye for 10-12 inches of snow from this storm which is to continue all day today and into tomorrow.  Guess I'll be staying home for the next few days!

Yesterday, knowing that this storm (Weather Channel named it Rocky) was coming I decided I needed some "retail therapy" so I headed out to the Quilt Shop and the grocers.  It's funny but the Quilt shop was as busy as the grocers!  What does that say about we quilters?

I had planned to spend most of this time stitching but my refrigerator decided to go nuts and I've had to take everything to the old frig in the garage!  This morning I finally had to unplug it, sigh.  That means I'll have to clean it, ugh.  This might be my least favorite chore, and this particular frig is a royal pain!  It needs a new circuit board, which has been ordered but won't likely arrive until next week (due to lovely snow.)  This was a higher end model and is only 4 years old, thankfully I purchased an extended warranty for it and it is still covered, but what happens in another 4 years?  Will the part even be available?  I won't be buying the higher end stuff any more!

Our old fridge lasted 20 years. The next one lasted 7 years. The next 3 years. Sigh. How do you beat built-in obsolescence? That's going to be quite a lot of snow. Temps cooled here today and I am grateful for it. Keep safe and warm.
