It was fine this morning. Hope I'll be able to drive to work tomorrow. No winter tires.

Seattle ~ 100 miles south & on the coast just recorded the most in 70 years - so I guess we are going to get it bad here too

And multi car accidents, cars getting stuck, people slipping on ice, frost bite, roofs collapsing, elderly people having heart attacks shovelling snow,  collapsed power lines, and pets not wanting to go outside to do their business..



Feral I know it looks pretty, but it brings problems too..



Fortunately, Vancouver snow doesn't usually last long.

Four more winters after this one. I can hardly wait.

This continuing cold snap is costing me money. Transport Canada put slow orders on the subdivision I work on. The faster trains move, the more money I make.

Is this entirely about the extreme cold or was the tragic accident in Banff also a factor?

I sure hope today was the end of the snow. I can't put up with waking up more early to shovel the sidewalk and walkway. I need to spend my morning time before work to go on Facebook, twitter, instagram, and YouTube.

We call those scoops..



We have a snow blower, but we still need shovels for areas around the house the blower won't reach.

I was looking for an appropriate translation..



Snow scoop sounds more folksy..  ac_biggrin







I just have the driveway, the road to the front door and some yard space..



Snow blower just aint worth the effort.
