Wow, what a weekend. I don’t know what the record is, but I’ve not seen it snow for that long at a stretch in the time I’ve lived in Vancouver. I’ve seen a greater accumulation here…but not that fast. It really is pretty though.  Looks like a White Christmas no matter where you are in Canada this year!

We were out for dinner and a movie Saturday evening with friends. The snow started falling at around 10 pm…and it’s still snowing Monday morning!

Three vehicles, and which is the one that is NOT insured? The 4Runner, of course….What DO we have on the road? Two Honda CRX’s with lousy tires. The 4Runner got insured yesterday with a 24 hr permit so it can be air-cared. I’m justifying it because we will need it to go skiing after Christmas anyway.

This morning I watched the people who run the dry cleaners across the street spin and spin and spin as they tried to pack the snow down in their parking lot. I guess they don’t understand the concept of a shovel since I saw the woman clearing the entry with a dustpan a minute later. Now one of my neighbours is stuck at the entrance to our driveway. Can’t go forward or backwards and is spinning his wheels as fast as he can…..apparently no one in Vancouver understands that the faster you spin, the slicker the ice that you create. The rest of his commute should be interesting if that’s how he deals with the driveway!

I think I’ll walk today…..
