As of 7:30 there is no new snow in Qualicum. Got about 10cm but is -5 and dark clouds. Busy looking for where global warming disappeared to.
Here you go, Karrie- don't tell anyone I never tried to help you LOL

That might be a good idea but I have a doctor appointment this morning so I have to get out anyway.
Our back deck looks weird with an eight inch topping of snow on everything.
I have decided that I won't shovel the damn stuff, so I hope the weatherman is right about the rain we are supposed to have soon.:smile:
Winter is about done here in El Toro. Now the sloppy clean up begins and the ritual of getting the toys out!

You got that right. If you have a $million- no problem, but pretty hopeless for those who can't get out.
Humidity:91%.............OUCH!!! That - 4C is going to feel like -20C in comparisson to my sunny part of the contintent.
still no snow here, and the temp seems to be about -2 and sould sit at around 0 today
nice in here, stove is on and it's cozy. i'll just go from the house to the car, from
the car into 'whatever' store, then return.
no walking outside today for me, i'll get that treadmill going.
i hate the cold, but I can walk for miles in the rain, warm and dry in my gortex.

I finally worked up the courage about 3 P.M. to take the walk, wind had died down slightly but still brutal. Anyway I managed an hour on the steepest hills around, so can sleep tonight with a clear conscience. :lol: Cold is criminal for anyone over 60.
take it easy out in the bitter cold, don't stray too far from home.
how long into the year does the okanagon have that kind of cold, I know for us, as you know, it will
be only a few days to a week, then we should be on our way to more milder temps.
I hate being in the house so many hours in the day, but it's only for a short while.
I guess as weather goes we don't really have it all that bad, I'm just a bit of a sissy in my doddering years. I would say we can expect anything up until the end of March, but at this time of year and through March we should also be getting some days where the temp. would be 10 degrees or more- probably 15C once we reach mid March. But we also should remember we had 9C on January 17. Gotta take the bad with the good Talloola. Minus 12C here tonight already.
That's what it was like here yesterday with the wind chill- thank Christ that's over.
It is 10 am. -6 degrees F. We have roughly 6 inches of snow and it is still snowing like hell I was starting to think that global
warming was going to solve those snow problems but no such luck. I'll shovel the driveway after it quits snowing or around
noon whichever comes first......
