Yes it's been crazy. Only a nap here and there. Slept good last night, but it takes a few good sleeps to feel normal again after that many hours awake.

Received around 10-12" from the past 2 days or so. It's insane here!

Not looking forward to the inevitable warmup(s) though. Roads are gonna be a mess.

Yes for sure, looks like the Arctic front has retreated to just north of Yale to just south of Whistler so the melt is on or will be moving forward.

Yes true, still filling the arenas state side, good test coming up though 5 games tough opponents Granddaddy. Still getting afew flurries @ the pond in south Sardis and plus 1c, it's amazing we get snow at plus 1c but hours of freezing rain @ -4c guess it's all upper level temps dependent.

Wonder if any of our members were on that Sunwing flight. probably Skooks.

Nothing exciting it looks like, AF mentioned a signal for a strong -EPO, l'm guessing not good for cold/snow for us. I should know these things but usually wait till some here say's this or that is good for winter weather.

Yup, Hope now down to -5, DP is -8 with a light SE breeze.

Hope this uploads. Here's a shot outside of my office on James St in Mission. They always close a portion of James St. when the snow flies. You can see that the snow drift is close to 3' deep by the road signage. That's common when there's an outflow combined with a 15cm+ snowfall.
