Where's my snow????

I gave you a metaphorical nod and a wave yesterday as I passed Sherwood Park and headed south on highway 21. 'Tis somewhat lacking in snow round your parts Mrs. No skiing this week, methinks :D (Piff Poff, I waved to you too as I passed Red Deer ;) )

No snow to speak of here in Ontario, some came down about two weeks ago and what is left is on the north side of the house under all the trees, at the moment the temp's are mild but a bit damp, no problem being outdoors enjoying the season.

A light sprinkling here about 2 weeks ago. Quickly melted and nothing since. This time last year we had about 2 feet. We're running about 0 during the day and -6 overnight.
The snow fence is up and ready!

:confused: what's a snow fence?

Only until tomorrow I would guess. Back into double digits here then so cue melting of the meagre smattering of snow on the North Shore mountains - we were skiing on Grouse by this time last year.

Not at all unusual for October. :p

Now November has been unusually mild. ;)

Re: Snow Report 2008!

Well, in Downtown Vancouver we are enjoying a great season of RAIN!:confused::confused:

The mountains however (Whistler / Blackcomb) have opened for the season so guess there is enough of the white stuff up there!!!!:thumbsup::thumbsup:

As for the North Shore, if I could only see through the clouds I'd tell you ;)

May be heading up to W for a day's skiing next w/end, will report back!

That said, it's no usual for Vancouver, although it was forcast for today, yet we just go more of that wonderful stuff they call RAIN!!!! :thumbdown:

I thought, maybe, that those of us that live here could post when the 1st snowfall of this year is/was and maybe how often it snows and what sort of quantity we're shovelling. You never know some folk in the UK may find the info useful. What do ya think?

Great idea PP for us here its good to see what we are actually going to get when we do get there, cheers for that x

It was 23 degrees a week later and I got sunburn. Total snowfall last year 435cm (14.3 feet). That was unusual. The average is about 220cm.

Not encouraging me :rofl: 14.3 feet OMG

Roads covered here. Thinly, you can make out the centre line in spots, but covered nonetheless. Recent pictures on blog.

We are down on the Seaway on the St Lawrence, it can be a hit or miss here, when it is a miss it is wonderful but a hit we get it, we did put up a snow fence after last year but up to now we have had no need for it, hope it stays that way, today was beautiful with lots of sunshine perfect for getting out.

Re: Snow Report 2008!
