Got Snow?

Just wondering how things are looking in BC.

We are edging up on 1 foot. Should be above that easily by morning. :rockon:

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...

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.

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

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.

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:
