We got a bit of a Prairie blow going on. Started yesterday about noon & is still going on. Rain, then mixed, then wind on top of that with more snow. Still going on.
Old Man winter has arrived

Bare shelves in the stores here in the Okanagan, dairy, produce, and meat are past tense, holes showing up in non-perishable supplies now too. Just about everything in our stores comes up from the coast, and there are no serviceable routes left in Canada. Best hope is the #3 from the south Okanagan through to Hope but that still needs slides to be cleared before they can assess the roads. Fraser Canyon (#1) and the Coquihalla (#5) have sustained catastrophic damage and will be quite some time. The Trans Mountain pipeline that carries gasoline (among other things) from Alberta has been shut down as a precaution as it passes through some of the areas currently stressed.
Hwy 3 shouldn’t take to long to open , 1 and 5 look longer . It took my wife three stores to find mustard yesterday .
I have enough milk for my coffee for three or four days. After that it will get tense. I hate black coffee.
Oh BTW, New Brunswick has some of the best highways I’ve seen in Canada.. WOW!!
They must have gotten US engineers to build them

When it snows out here in LaLa Land it is the hills that cause problems , most of the time .
