unexpected?? its February, Northern BC, and forecasted for the last couple of days, what is unexpected? weird choice of words…
unexpected?? its February, Northern BC,
That forecast is only for the people who are not from here. As a TC. we all know that it will snow anytime till the end of March. And speaking of March I remember it snowed a good 4 feet over night and was plowing snow in my 4×4. Could have 07, 08 I’d have to check my pictures.
Still waiting for that global warming tax to fix all this so I can retire my shovel and snow blower for good. LOL
till the end of March?? it can snow anytime to the end of july!! lol this is PG!! where there are 9 months of winter and 3 months of bad snowmobiling weather..haha
I know people often joke that we only have 2 seasons,winter and summer. Mind you if we are going to only have 2 seasons,we got the best of them.
You know what would be cool though is if someone in this area would design and manufacture a combination ATV/Snow machine. I know there are some out there but some are best in the winter and not so good for summer trail riding and vice versa. We need one that is bang on for both seasons.I know this city is chuck full of fabricators I`m not one of those,but I`d buy one of those machines off of you if you build it…
Yes, we only have 2 seasons……..Winter and almost Winter.
