Hey, it’s the weekend. Weekends in PG mean significant snowfalls just so that we are reminded of how to drive in snow without it all being cleared away within 12 hours …
Since when did 10cm of snow require a warning in northern BC or even most of Canada for that matter. Barely enough to cover your shoes… lol
Let’s wait to hear that with this snow fall, the city has expended its entire snow removal budget for the year already!
This will be great for the Pineview Snow Frolics, which are on this saturday and sunday, we needed some more snow.

LOL. We just had a nice 20-30 cm dump here in Ottawa that started this afternoon. Got home, shovelled the driveway and headed out to grab some dinner. The plows were already out and the sidewalks were also fully cleared on the major streets. Our side street will be done by this time tomorrow for sure.
Can’t wait for Spring!
