Snow Days

As strange as it sounds yes we have snow in Chilliwack and while it is not unheard of, we do not normally see that much and what we do get does not usually stay. Since Saturday we have had somewhere around 25-30 cm of snow and today it snowed again with more expected tonight and Wednesday.Probably not a big deal for most of Canada but for us on the Lower Mainland we are not used to snow and are not really equipped for snow which stays longer than a few days.

Normally at this time of year we are getting tired of all the rain but not this year, we are in the middle of another major storm dropping snow instead of rain. I am not sure if this is storm number 8 or 9 but I can say this is probably the most snow I have seen in a large number of years. We sometimes get 1 or 2 “snow storms” a year so this year it is unusual the amount of snow we have received and the fact that it has stayed around longer than a day. While it is nice to look at, it is horrible for driving especially with the Vancouver drivers who have no concept that they should use some caution when the conditions deteriorate. On the way home tonight I saw three SUV’s and 1 tractor trailer in the ditch, upside down.
