10" of snow overnight.....
« on: January 11, 2007, 18:09:13 »
Sorry, guys and gals.... it's in Vancouver!

Just spoken to a friend in Richmond, Vancouver and they have had 3 major snow falls this year already. Another 8-10" last night apparently. He's off this weekend to play in the snow with his snowmobile.

Some people have all the fun!

A mate of mine moved out to Washington State last Autumn. He likes to go to Idaho to look for mineral specimen and he's a bit peeved since it's snowed over a foot on 2 different occations in December alone.
He mentioned something about 100+ inches where he wants to go. He's going to have to wait until Spring :lol:

Having lived over there, its great fun. Always laughed at how 2mm of snow brings the UK to a halt but north America it takes several feet to take effect, never heard of the C-Train not running because of snow/ice/leaves eaither.

And its great when you start the car, jump in, press the door opener and are facing a 5 foot wall of snow where the door was. Then you just go right back to bed :)

Winter doesnt exist anymore. Its mid january and i'd happily go for a walk round the block with no shirt if i didnt worry about people thinking i'm a nut.

Then again, i cant complain- its all my fault!

Oh well... 158 days until summer

What? With my memory? I struggle to remember what I did yesterday  :lol:

The 8-10" was just one nights fall. It is on top of what was already there. I understand they are now at about 12 feet in the foothills where he was off to use his snowmobile  :D
