On socks (and snow update)

I think that I am now officially a sock knitting addict (no laughing, catspaw_sgjd). The trick appears to be finding a pattern that works and then poof, you're an addict.

( Knitting ramblings, mostly socks )

In other news, I am safely at work unlike the people that I passed with cars in ditches. Also unlike my colleague who smashed his car into a house 800 metres from home.

Most of my team, however, have been stuck on the Cobequid Pass all night because they were trying to drive to Moncton for a course. The latest update was that they have just got back to Truro (there were 1500 cars backed up on the pass, takes a long time to dig out and move that many cars) where they are taking a break with coffee and food and washrooms before trying to finish the trip back. The director has given them the rest of the week off to recover.

Somehow, even though they're getting some extra paid time off, I'm still feeling grateful that I didn't get sent on that course and end up stuck in the moutains during a big snow storm.

Apparently this weather was completely unexpected. I feel less stupid about being surprised by it now :-)
