Just wondering how things are looking in BC.
We are edging up on 1 foot. Should be above that easily by morning. :rockon:
-
Just got back from taking the dogs for a romp in the park. There's an easy 14\" here.
-
all clear here :D
did most of our christmas shopping today the malls were not too bad at all
-
Over a foot in the Rock.
Here's my hood ornament?

I have to be around 14 to 16 inches here
-
East Van, half a foot at most.
-
We've got just over 2 feet here and a constant -26 c and a slight north wind making it -47 below zero
Just another day in hell
-
At least 12-14 inches!
Just took the 57 out for a boot so Russ could reassure himself that I know what I am doing before my morning commute ;)
Everybody be careful out there!
-
6\" + and counting. It might stop over night but who knows. At least our snow is light, dry, and easy to deal with. Sorry no pics...
-
At one pm I shoveled my sundeck measured 14 inches on the deck. At 10 pm I shoveled another 3 1/2 inches off.

Got 10\" all together. Volvo did great and testing my bug was a riot on a parking lot. Would not want to drive it for fear of the unknown (other drivers) I take care of the snow ( MANANA)
later.
-
Really screwed on my end.
I got like a foot and a half in my neighbourhood. My car on its barely all seasons I can't even get it off my street its just a slip in slid.
FACK!
-
those who know how to drive... the rest should just stay home like kiki.
-

-

The only bad thing with those tents is, if they are more then a couple years old the tarps can't handle the weight. Like mine :o . I was going to make a metal roof on it next spring anyway :P

Actually Mowser its not that I don't know how to drive in the winter. But merely my car is completly unequipped for the snow. Its on summer tires that barely qualify for all season rating. For the rest of yesterday I was bombing around in the \"Snow truck\" having a blast. Nearly got stuck once when some idiot in a caravan goiing up 64th got stuck... Fun times in the GVRD
Tsk Tsk don't judge before you have the whole story.
Toodles,
Kiki

Its fun driving my bus at work
somepeople dont appreciate my put your head between your legs and assume the crash position jokes
-
i love the snow, but i hate living in it. there's too much snow in front of the garage to get the bug out. ]:(
-
got about 15 to 17 inches
thank god for winter beaters with heat :rockon: :D :D
-
woke up this morning to my car buried in the snow with a completely flat tire, and a dead battery.....
3 hours later i was on my way to work!
-
I got about 1.5 feet with -16 with the wind chill and its blowing like a mother, I love the country :(
-
I now have almost 13mm :lol:
low altitude near the sound, and far enough from the convergence zone. but the black ice will strike Tuesday!

dug it out tonight after work, it fired right up, backed it out and got stuck in the alley for a second, and made a trip to the liquor store (for boxes cause we're moving ;) )
-
With this wind that has come up in the interior, by tomorrow morning, we will have all the snow from Abbotsford and Chilliwack pilled on us. :(
-
Here in the Loops, looks like between 1ft and 2 ft, I have never seen snow like this is awesome, went sledging with the kids, what fun we had, my youngest daughter flying down the hill on her magic carpet laughing so hard her head and mine nearly fell off.
Fantastic views up here in Juniper, really pleased with our life, work still sucks but you cant have everything.
Still rather be here than U.K.
:rockon: :rockon:

Ya made me smile Maniac. Glad to hear the family is loving \"The Great White North\". Looking forward to meeting you in person.

I went to leave for work this morning and the bug fired right up and backed out of the driveway no problem. Moving forward on the other hand was a problem. Seems that my front apron makes a pretty good snow plow. Pulled it into the garage and cranked up the adjusters. I just put 195/75's on the back and with the 145's and stock height front end I've got this look goin' on:

Went to jump in the beetle this morning to go to school, just to find out that the clutch pedal and brake peal were frozen solid.

:lol: my thoughts exactly.
my boss is in mexico for a week enjoying the tequila induced sunrises. as much as i wish i was there, it is kind of cool to be running the shop while he's gone.

I have to remember to take my camera to work, its amazing what you see....
Some guy yakking on his cell, flying down 16th ave just east of 176 st loses control on the ice/slush and flies through a snow bank into a ditch out of the ditch airborne over a driveway into a chainlink and barbwire fence takes out 6 sections of the fence and then tries to get out of the mud and snow with 2 wheel drive. I kept trying to tell him he was stuck. He didnt believe me.

HAHA.. SOOOOOO true.. I've started leaving a dispos. camera in my car for just those type of occations.. Oh.. and car spotting of course. B)
