Vancouver getting Dumped On

[Spr.Earl]

That nice kinda fluffy stuff you guy‘s get down east is falling,it‘s -7.
School‘s closed,store‘s etc. sending employee‘s home for the day!!LOL
We are supposed to get hit hard over night!!

What would they do with a real down east winter?
(Not this year‘s)

I love it!

haha, Earl you sound like a kid who‘s school got cancelled!
Actually it‘s snowing outside right now here...of course it‘ll turn to rain, but I don‘t think we ever get snow that stays for longer then a couple of hours, eventually the rain kicks in and we half a slushy-muddy mixture that‘s **** on the cars.

I miss the 2 feet snow I use to get when I was younger.

I lived for 8 years near Chilliwack and I‘ve seen what you‘re describing. A few inches of snow and it drops below -5 C and all **** breaks loose. Its quite hilarious actually. My students would stare out the windows while the snow fell and I had to let them go early as they had about 5% of their regular attention span!

It is for those who don‘t know how to drive in it
and that‘s nearly all of em out here

 

[Korus]

And you think they know how to drive here? We had two police cruisers crash (in seperate incidents) on Saturday..

 

[Gryphon]

with the windchill it‘s near -40 C here in Montreal...

we could use a bit more snow tho.. not enough for my taste

we have about 3 feet of the white stuff

 

[Korus]

I don‘t care much for aymore snow here in the city. But the mountains, on the other hand.. they need more snow. Much more snow. Another couple of meters.

(I‘m still mad about the new dings I have in the bases of my skis from 2 weekends ago)

 

[muskrat89]

Well, for what it‘s worth, I‘ve been trying to hunt javelina the last couple of days, and it‘s almost too hot to hunt

Was around 73 degrees today.... what a rough ol life :warstory:

 

[winchable]

-30 today in Halifax, and I decided to get in some outdoor rock climbing...
Still not sure why...
Icicles froze on my beard it was kind of neat actually I looked a little like Santa Claus.

My sister went down stateside for the holidays, and she came back late on the Saturday where it hit 40 below with windchill. When I went to pick her up, there were two flights comming out of the customs gate at the same time, one from Houston, one from Cancun.

It was rather quite amusing to see people comming out of customs with dark tans, shorts and t-shirts, while everyone waiting to pick up family/friends was bundled up nice and warm.

I wonder how many of them didn‘t even think to have warm clothes handy.. I saw some people stop and put on jackets right away, but others just kept on going..
