Drove from 220st (north of highway) to abbotsford, temperatures ranged from -2 to -5. Cold is definitely putting up a fight.
l wonder how much we'll pick up before we transition, l think EC's 2cm to 4cm is out to lunch. May as well have that TWN group forecasting from TO the way EC has botched it out here weren't we suppose to have risen to 0c like Thursday morning.

I am very fortunate to live in such a beautiful area. I am waiting for it to warm up a bit, its too cold and windy and the snow is too dry and powdery to go out and ride my sled. Powder snow + sled = freezing cold face wash.
Ice ball, garbage can lid, face plant in the snow= hospital.
What's your current snow depth Shar? I hope you get your station on line soon. Did you sign in to Ecowitt so you can access your readings from anywhere if you do that theres a map with all the stations. You go to Ecowitt.net to sign up, l"m the only Ecowitt station in Chilliwack.

Seems to be a very secluded area.There can't be a whole lot of people living there. Is that like your dream retirement home/area?
It is my dream home, semi-retirement. Its not really secluded there are a number of First Nations villages in the area and a whole lot of tourists that visit the two hotsprings along the valley. My nearest neighbour is about 3 km away and there are about 300 people living in the area. I'm originally from Poco.

There is just enough snow out here that it covers the obstacles. Hubby got some airtime yesterday going over a log he didn't see, no damage to him or the machine.

Yah, kinda wondered what happened thought you might have lost power, welcome back. Yale man can pick up afew tips on living barberically. 1" inch is all wow! If you didn't have social media you would think there's not much snow elsewhere as well.
Lots of trees down I guess, they kept saying they were on site and power would be back on in 2 hours but there was a tree down on my road, 3 houses affected and took them a while to work their way here. Woke up at midnight to men yelling, flashing lights and chainsaws.
Haven't checked through the posts or social media yet, take it that most people have more snow left... but maybe less than East Chilliwack.
on his barberic Canadian tire stove.
