I usually carpool with my mum since we work in the same area. She has 4x4; schools are closed however. My Honda isn't getting around in the snow well. Good choice staying home. In a week this will all be forgotten. Get in an accident and the consequences could last a lot longer. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SID.IS.SID.ME.IS.ME Posted February 12, 2019 Share Posted February 12, 2019 OMG my kids’ school is canceled! They never cancel the public schools here for snow. And UBC campus is shutdown! Guess everyone is staying home today at my house. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Send them to live in the polar vortex for a week. Come drive on ice that won't melt. No block heater? Engine won't turn over. Wind chill that causes frost bite in minutes. Cabin fever is reaching new heights. And no relief in sight... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The hotel we were playing at was full, so they stuck us all in a conference room that had no AC and no windows that could be opened. (just sky lights) Around 40 degrees from about 10:00 am until 10:00 pm.....just brutal.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not as bad as they are made out to be. Maybe climate change has lessened the effect. Plus, the stagnant 'lakes' as they call them here are all dried up. By July they are only a mild nuisance. I grew up on the North Coast of BC and the bugs there are quite possibly worse than here. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
