On Thursday and Friday of this week the weatherman is calling for "flurries". I'm a little dissappointed because for the last couple years we, in Nanaimo B.C., haven't had more than a light dusting of the white stuff. I was ready to accept that global warming was doing just the right thing. I mean, there was enough snow in the mountains to provide water over the following Summer so we didn't really need any snow. If we want to see snow, we can drive into the mountains.....or watch it snow on TV from Edmonton or Regina.....:roll:

Our snow comes from BC. Thanks, #juan.

You need lots of snow so that grouse when they fly for shelter into a drift don't break their little necks. Not wishing for snow is rather thoughtless of us humans.

We are not supposed to get snow on the southern half of the island below the 1600 ft. level. I bought a bobcat 2 years ago just to plow my driveway and since then it hasn't snowed enough to need it. Been a good investment so far.Your welcome.

It snowed but good in Vancouver last winter.

Good for them. They deserve it. The last time victoria got a dump of snow they had to get the army to help out. Turns out the snow removal budget for the entire winter was $50,000and they were not about to go over budget.

You must live in a region with long winters. Here, winters are only six and a half months long.

Oh sure, everyone's all socialist and happy with sharing the wealth, until that wealth is snow. Well suck it up folks, and take your fair share. My kids have been off school for two days now, and hubby's done almost 5 hours of snowblowing in two nights, not to mention the many trips the kids and I had to make to clear doorways during the worst of the snowfall.


You live in Canada... that four letter s word is gonna fall eventually.

Man it was cold on Vancouver Island today. In fact I had to put on a jacket. That's crazy!

What I like about this cold weather is, with the hardened ground, I can get more distance out of my driver.
