Yeah I couldnt believe it watching the travel cams on the news this morning, there was hardly anything at all in Calgary. They said Millarville had it bad, then it comes round to us and then said Cochrane had a 'dusting' - anyway it keeps OH fit doing the shovelling, but with his bad back at the moment and my bad knee I think we ought to put a plea out for a 'snow angel'

For what it's worth (probably not much!) my OH woke up in Manchester (UK)yesterday morning to a light blanket of snow! I spoke to him mid morning and he said it was snowing again with great big flakes! I am the worlds biggest kid when it comes to snow so was gutted we didn't get any in South Wales.

Please please have some in Calgary before the weekend as I am coming out to view a house to rent ready for us to move in on Feb 1st - or at least have some there ready for us for January!

Where in the MCR area.....there can be a big difference in amount of snow between say Dukinfield/Hyde versus Irlam/Cadishead in amount of snow and temps.

Well if you dont have any in Calgary come out to see us at Bragg Creek, we'll even let you use our toboggan!!!

Not too sure but he's at the Apollo so arounds that area I guess

Thank you - may well take you up on the offer!

Yesterday we awoke to the highly dangerous thing called freezing rain which in turn turns to black ice/sheet ice. Not little patches of the stuff on damp corners but everywhere. Roads closed, pavements to icy to stand up on, even back lanes were slippy, it was horrible and only the second time we have experienced the stuff since being here - this is our 4th winter. I would trade black ice for snow anyday. Funnily enough that's what we woke up to today Only about 1/2 inch and now it's being drizzled away.

So far every winter we have had has popped something new up, not one has been the same as the last - hey it's exciting not knowing quite what to expect

Still nothing on the North Shore mountains in Vancouver!

Went Ice Skating up there last night, and although the upper runs had 'snow', it was I believe artificial.

The ice rink however was fun - no accidents by any of us, and I only fell over once!!!!

Just praying for more, as want to try out all my new gear!!!

We've got some now, maybe 0.5in... not much.

Snow squalls today, another 6 inches of blowing snow on top of what we had already have from a couple of weeks. unfortunately Santa cannot get into Collingwood today due to the weather and the Parade has had to be cancelled. Hopefully next Sunday will be a go!

Snowing in Bragg Creek this morning, all pathways covered again!!!

That was only 0.5"

Just a guess - it's hard to tell here, we seem to have much of ours blow away! What was the official measurement then?

6.8cms.
