Yes, so … above was the forecast last Friday (10\/23).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The forecast lived up to it’s name!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The “CLIMATE” section is interesting … I guess we’ll see. Last year, we had a winter storm in September and then Winter kind of pffhtt to not much Winter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The first three afghan squares are complete.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Just in time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I received an email that the 2nd kit of the next three blocks is on its way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While we wait…<\/p>\n\n\n\n
