If Ladner and Richmond are both reporting snow then this is a good sign

It's a good thing we like the anticipation...it's usually better than the event. At least it's fun to have others to share it with. Here's to a fun rollercoaster week, or more.

Snow
Snow will keep us together
Think of snow, whenever
Some sweet snow storm comes along, singing her song
Don't mess around, you've just got to be strong, just snow
'Cause we really love you, snow
We'll be thinking of you
Look to the skies and let snow keep us together
This one certainly suites me more: Raindrops keep falling on my head (BJ Thomas)
