We're up to a couple inches and it doesn't look like it will stop any time soon. I know those people in Edmonton and Regina will have a hard time generating a lot of sympathy for us but our weather is usually more civilized.

#juan, check this out....it might make you appresiate the snow you're getting...
Nanaimo 2wk forcast of daily HIGH Temperatures. Notice how
the line actually stays on the Graph...
Regina 2wk forcast of daily HIGH Temperatures. Now add a
Prairie wind to that and....my Dogs will get a couple days of
some pretty short "walks." X'mas will be nice though...

Hey Ron
I was born in Moose Jaw and grew up in northern B.C. so I know the kind of weather you get. I was mainly kidding though we usually don't get this kind of stuff so we tend to whine about it when we do....

So suck it up and get shoveling.I'm not sure who to report this to, but we are getting a dump of snow. This weather would better suit Edmonton or Regina........Certainly not Nanaimo. If the authorities could just look into this, I would very much appreciate it......Thank you..

If this keeps up I might need to put on a jacket. This isn't fair.

now that was a dump. That was before the plough nicely put 6 foot windrows at the ends of driveways, I did a good business with my tractor that day.

Yeah, we're getting it too, has nanaimo written all over it.
Have to admit it is very pretty, I have a small blue spruce out by the road, covered
with xmas lights, and it looks beautiful right now, covered in snow, think i will take joe out for a walk
around the culdesac, might not be so pretty in the morning, and of course the cat
will come too, we can't walk the dog without her, or she kicks up such a stink in the house, till someone lets her out.

Ugh! Weather! Just got back home from a week in Ottawa and a little place south of Montreal called Richelain. It snowed heavily almost every damn day we were there, we drove to Richelain and back from Ottawa on Wednesday in blowing snow and freezing rain, and it was unseasonably cold when it wasn't snowing and raining. But we had a lovely time visiting my wife's sister's family in Ottawa, saw our eldest son graduate as a naval officer (my son the naval officer; still having trouble getting my head around that) from the Canadian Forces Leadership and Recruitment School in Richelain, and spent an exhausting and moving day in the Canadian War Museum in Ottawa, which I recommend to everybody. A tough trip, made worse by foul weather, and a transit strike in Ottawa, but I wouldn't have missed it for anything. Then we flew home to Regina this evening to a temperature of -28 degrees and a windchill of -42. I'm having one of those days when I seriously wonder why I live here...

Well, we got another six or seven inches overnight and it is still coming down. Looks definitely like Campbell River snow to me. We just did a big grocery shopping yesterday morning and we don't even have to go outside for a week or two. But I guess I'd better at least knock down the wall that the snowplows left across the end of the driveway.

I wonder if that means there's more in store for Grand Forks. We had about 7-8" total and now temp. is plummeting- minus 14C this morning. Do you remember Dec.29, 1996? Check the records for Vancouver Island for that date. WE lived in Parksville at that time.

We only have about 2-3 inches, and kind of bright out right now, but still cold, at
least for around here.
I lived in Parksville for 3 years, from 1981 to 1984
I was in Grand Forks about 5 years ago, took my grandson to a b.c. golf
tournament at Christina Lake.
Grand Forks is a neat little town, took a walk around there for an hour or so.
