Hi Di - if you see this....  we got about 16 inches of snow and right now, it's warm at 5F.   LOL   The hard part is where to put all the snow.

That’s ccccold stinky!!!

Y'all talking weather:  I live in a town on the shore of Lake Michigan in Wisconsin - they call it central as it is in the middle of the state (sort of).  We are having -20F temps with sustained winds about 35mph which translates to some insane wind chill.  We are expecting a foot of snow over night.  I've been watching facebook to see how many business & school and event closings are happening. Looks like everything is closing for tomorrow. I am provisioned (yay), have plenty of watercolor and paper, delightful parrots and a snow thrower.  Life is good.  Stay warm everyone (except for those in southern hemi you'll need to chill).

Hi Every 1 --  I finished this 1 with 119 moves.  Knit 01  

And now not sure about 9...

No idea for clues except 5 first, 9 first...  

You'll survive, Larryt. I've lived in South Carolina for over 36 years. We had a blizzard in 1988 and got 12 inches of snow. That was the most snow that I remember seeing here, and it didn't last long.

That’s why we moved north. How cold isn’t cold compared to down south. I remember the polar vortex we experienced when living in NYC. That was COLD!

Actually, Di, cold is a relative term.   It's going to get cold for us, but no where near what it will be like in Fargo, ND.   They are expecting -36F with a wind chill of -65F.    We will just be getting down into the low 20s.   But I moved south 15 years ago to get away from anything that resembles cold weather.   

We just had a lovely weekend in Sydney for my mother’s 80th birthday, Larry. It was great having the family all together to celebrate. It’s very hot here, so I’ll stay indoors in the lovely air conditioning. Stay warm!
