Are we depressed weather friends. :( :x :cryhard: perhaps a group hug to get you through the doldrums of an aftermath of an outstanding dump of snow.

Did anyone actually smell the awful smell from the refinery yesterday? I didn't catch anything, thankfully, and I spoke with someone around Burquitlam who didn't either.

It always stinks in the valley Man with a van so nothing new there. :sick:
But it sounds like it was pretty gross by the news story.

No, but I have a friend who lives north of Hastings St. who smelled it. I think both of us are too far south to have been affected.
It's called clown range for a reason.

Probably for the best. A lot of jerks no longer shovel their sidewalks and plows end up tossing more slushy snow onto the sidewalks. It's an absolute nightmare for seniors or people who rely on mobility devices.

Maybe depressing for the weather geeks, but the sound of rain washing away the snow is music to the ears of 99.99% of the general public.

I agree skipper plus trying to take the garbage to the dumpster is a chore for an old timer like me. I don't find fun in sliding on slush. :sick: :D.
