It seems like winter came overnight

We had a nice warm sunny fall with almost no snow. The ground was totally clear. Then, all of a sudden, we had almost three feet of snow on the ground. OK, I admit it. We were out of town for a week and a half. When we left it was still fall and there was no snow on the ground. By the time we got home winter had arrived and there was lots of snow everywhere. And that was before the big storm we had for Christmas. We're still digging out.

Back to the out-of-town thing... I was defending my dissertation and finally earning my PhD! Yippee, that is finally over. I put a lot of time into writing my thesis this fall and I am really glad to be done with it and to get on with my life. And my knitting :) I plan to do a bunch of skiing this year to make up for not being able to ski last winter (due to the big bone tumor scare).
