It's falling...nothing too crazy.  Maybe only 1" on the ground.  The snowflakes are the small ones (not the BIG fluffy ones).  Roads are slick..but not more than usual.  I DO see some drifitng already.  Saw a 2 foot drift over some railroad tracks.  At this point, it's just snowfall...and a fairly weak one at that.

Here it comes... queue some Jaws music...dun dun  dun dun   dun dun dun dun...

You've seen drifting already, but I'm not even there!

I must admit, I laugh.

Last week, and the week before, everyone else left work early because it was snowing and the visibility was bad and the roads were horrible.  I had things that had to get done for a deadline, so I kept working.  By the time I left the office, the visibility was fine, and the roads weren't bad.  It's Canada, after all; if we can't deal with 30cm of snow, what are we good for?  Have we all become wimps because the tv networks need a crisis of the day?

Put on snow tires.  Drive carefully.  Use your head.  Stop whining.  Are you a Canadian, or a mouse?

I can't wait to get the S2000 out of the garage in the morning to do some drifting!!

Yea...the slippery roads will help that torqueless engine spin the tires!!

Exactly, I'm taking the GC out tomorrow!

I have my best blue snow shovel,tuned to within an inch of its life, ready for tomorrow afternoon for the drive and.... 9pm or so when the plough comes around for the windrow...I hate doing the windrow.   

[dr_spock]

I have my colour coordinated shovel and brush loaded in the car.  Don't see any snow fall yet.

[Ice]

Snowing hard here... see what it's like in the morning!

^^ Exactamundo. Ya gotta take winter as it comes and it ALWAYS comes. That said, all is calm and quiet in BC for a change, weather-wise anyway. The forecast for the North Okanagan is -2 and sunny on Wednesday, scattered flurries and 0 on Thursday and warming up to +3 by Friday.

X2, you obviously also grew up in NB.    I'm driving my wife to work because it'll be fun.

This was my "home-island" last week.

Just like most Hollywood movies, Snowmageddon was a huge letdown. Sure the streets are a mess (just like most days after it snows) but where is the quantity?
