I am sitting at the window watching it now and the flakes are HUGE and it is falling very fast now.

It is beautiful:wub:

(I might not be so impressed when I have to drive to work tomorrow, though:eek:)

C'est la vie!
Most of life's excitement is very short-lived;)

Just as well I am not easily disappointed.:p

Looking out of my window, it's snowing hard on the mountains and it's just started raining downtown. Hopefully it'll turn into snow too :sunglasses:

Just driven over the Malahat, South Vancouver Island and in places it was like a blizzard. Hopefully it won't last.

Hopefully!

It is nice for me to be seeing it for the first time:sunglasses:.

I am sure the cynics will say that the novelty will soon wear off, but for now it is a novelty and I will enjoy it:)

Maybe I will have to learn to ski....:blink:

Much less so. I always enjoy new experiences. One gets so jaded.

Good job because it is still coming down heavily here.:D

Such a quick change of conditions - only a month ago when I had just arrived we were out in the garden in beautiful warm sunshine building a compost bin wearing T-shirts and shorts.
It was like Summer still and yet four short weeks later snow is falling.

Do the seasons always change so quickly here?

Pah! Amateurs!

It's -19C outside and there's already about 30cm of snow on the ground.
