And really, you may not even be from the West at all, you could easily be from Florida or one of those big Southern cities like Dallas or Atlanta. | |

A Deep Freeze
While yesterday's problem was all that snow, today's problem are the power outages and deep freezing weather, along with sliding on icy sidewalks. It's not too cold but for us who live on the warm West Coast -8C (wind chill -18) is chilly for the current temp in Vancouver. However, this is as a result of an artic blast which is not going to let up.
Here in North Vancouver this morning, there are blue skies showing Grouse Mountain and just lots of white stuff everywhere. The schools are definitely open today after a few power outages yesterday.
We did finally get a let up on the boil water advisory which has been lifted. But the bitter cold for some people must not be nice. Vancouver does have a large homeless population which I am sure is not fun to be part of.
If you don't clear a walking path from the snow by 10am, you can be fined. To me that sounds like a Swiss law too. In fact, P actually bought a shovel to shovel his way out of the parallel parking. This cold air doesn't seem like it will let up even until next week.
I'll see what I can do to post a pic or two from just around our neighborhood because besides walking 10 blocks up to the pool, I didn't walk much further than that.

We're Snowed In
On Saturday Morning P and I went out for a morning walk. It was cool yet beautiful as you could see the snow on the nearby mountains. Green is what it looked like.
As the day progressed, it started snowing. Here is a night shot where there was some snow on the cars but not too much on the roads.
Waking up this morning, it was a different story.
There's probably a good 6 cm of snow stuck to the ground and a good 6 more cm's of snow on the trees. These photos don't do justice but maybe I'll be able to take a few more pics today outside.
There's enough snow to cancel almost all schools today, but that certainly doesn't mean you can't skip work. I'm just hoping a long drive I usually take today will be cancelled because of the conditions.
Check out one article here. It's -4C in Vancouver this morning and P is debating on buying a shovel just to shovel his way out of the roadside parking. Not all too fun.
The kids are happy...

We've Got Snow
So I'm not sure If I'm excited or annoyed with this light dusting of snow which is said to be sticking around for a while. Today's high was 3 degrees. This morning P and I went out for a beautiful walk before most people woke up. It was beautiful. I'm glad I got that in because the weather soon turned to white skies and slow falling snow.Tomorrow it's supposed to feel like -5C outside. Now if I only had plans to be outside sledding! Where will this weather appear next?
