No workie today. I still can't believe they closed work for the day. Just watching the snow from indoors and eating lots of comfort food. :^0

Mac & Cheese for me. Oh and a libation of your choice.

I'm still at work, it's raining/snowing here. No snow accumulation yet.

How is that the places that gets an inch of snowfall a year end up getting all the snow and get the days off? I hate to say it but next time a storm comes send it up here. We got the tip of the storm and only got 3-4 inches. barely enough to close the schools. Have a couple of drinks for me, no better way to celebrate hump day.

We only get as much as -

"Quit your bitchin' 45C degrees isn't that hot."

We already have a foot here and I still had to come in. Not too bad though. Pretty much everyone called off. Lightweights.

You're supposed to stay indoors because it's too dangerous to be outside.

They closed schools early here in anticipation of nasty afternoon weather. That's the best way to ensure that the snow does not fly. It's 2:50 PM, schools would be out very soon, and barely a flake has dropped.

Oh well, enjoy the fun in the snow. Send some north!

Damn, you still have snow!

In Vancouver, CANADA, we saw a light flurry one night in December, didn't last more than a few hours and now it's like spring. Daffodils are in full bloom and the crokuses are open. Sunny and warm, with some rain mainly in the evening or late night (BC is a rain forest afterall). But weather's been averaging 10-13 ceclius for our "winter" so far, despite a short cold snap in early December.

They are making snow on local mountains for the Olympics and many of the recreational runs are closed due to lack of snow.

Oh well, look on the bright side, at least you got a day off out of the deal.

I can't believe there is no snow in Vancouver. Thats highly unusual. They could have held the winter Olympics here in NJ. Lots and lots of snow. The blizzard is really kicking in now. Another 8 hours of snow predicted.

It is not going to be fun digging out of this stuff. At least I have a good bottle of wine. Brrr.

We usually don't see much here. Had a bed patch last year but that is prett rare. Before thta it was the early 80's since we'd seen anything susbtantial.

Vancouver is a pretty special part of Canada, blessed by protection from Vancouver Island that sends bad weather south to Washington and North to the BC interior.

We get rain but you don't have to shovel rain.

I went to the studio at 11:30PM last night wearing a t-shirt, haven't bothered with a jacket since early December.
Whener I talk to people about living in Vancouver, their first comment is "Canada's was too cold for me!"

Yup most of Canada does get a pretty cold Winter, even 2 hours from Vancouver it gets damn cold an snowy, but Vancouver and most of the Island is a green, and often wet, rainforest paradise; though even rain hasn't even been an issue as much lately.

It gets grey and drizzly a lot, but not the constant downpours you often read about.

I want that weather right now! Is Vancouver like a micro-climate in Canada? It sounds like it could be.

One millimetre. It came over from Belgium last night.

I reckon I'll manage to get to work.

:)

Although thirty miles south, it's been snowing all night.
