White Christmas - I hate snow!

This morning around 9 it finally quit snowing. We have been in the throes of a winter storm, our second one in two weeks. It snowed continuously for 22 hours and we got around 30 cm of snow (1 foot for you 'Mericans). BLAH. It may be pretty, but it is messing up my plans and I am not happy about it. tonight we were supposed to go to the Canuck VS Ducks hockey game, but there is no way in hell we can get there. Our van is deeply entrenched in snow and the alley is treacherous. No way I am taking a chance with Donna out there. We could take the bus, but at this point that is also not a very good option as I have heard that some of the bus stops are knee deep in snow and the buses are just stopping in the middle of the street. Kind of hard to unload the wheelchair. We will just have to forego the game and have made 2 other people very happy by giving them our tickets.

Here are a few picture that I snapped on my new camera. I haven't actually been able to leave my deck/apartment yet, so photos are somewhat limiting, but they will give an idea as to how much snow we have, which is unusual for the west coast.

I took a couple of shots of the railing with the different levels of snow from one day to the next. Still not totally used to my camera. It is going to take a while.

This is a photo of the bamboo plant on my deck from Saturday, Sunday and early this morning. It got a little more buried each day. I had to wade out on the deck after I took this picture and clean the snow off so it didn't break.

We had temps of 10 above with wind chill factor of even less. I hate extremely cold weather and I hear we're suppose to get some dusting today. Probably more ice then snow. Now snow is bad, but I can drive on that, ice is another story. Can't even walk on that stuff. You guys stay in and keep warm.
Merry Christmas.

Definitely a white Christmas! AND we are supposed to get another 20 cm tonight. Not looking forward to THAT. Supposed to warm up by the 26 and then rain. I can't even begin to imagine the slushy mess that is going to create!

I've been watching the news, about the storms that have buried Seattle and Portland, Ore., so you definitely aren't alone in snowiness. We got three inches or so today, but that's not so bad, especially compared to other places that have gotten hammered.

There will be other chances to see the Duckies, so you did the wise thing by playing it safe this time. There's always the TV.

My Dad has a foot in Salem Oregon and that is rare. The most snow they have had in 40 yrs they said.
Im jealous, I have none zero zip. Had a smidge the other night and then it rained on top of it. So nada.
I want SNOW!! Send it to me!!!
I am glad you didn't go out there in the snow either. I think the Canucks won, I can't remember.. So now you have Mats, it will be interesting to see how that plays out...
pun intended!!
