The fog has finally lifted in Vancouver.

A great slide show of the fog here.<--link (photo changes every 5 seconds)

The sun does exist, at least for a while.

WDE.

Enough reading, I'm out to play with the snowblower and that 6" of S""" that is still falling.

Check the latest fashion in footware for those icy sidewalks that the cities, businesses and neighbours don't keep clean.

And for the geezers who might fracture a hip if they fall.

Our whole parking lot at work is ice. Lovely.

Ooh! I need those! Some bastich in my neigborhood keeps leaving the ice on his sidewalks and not cleaning them off!

What can I say? I got tired of shoveling every other farking day!

I've had YakTrax for about four years now. I would not want to go through a Minnesota winter without them, particularly since the management of the apartment complex and car dealership on my block are under the impression that they are exempt from snow removal ordinances.

It got above freezing today! Yay!

I rode my bike at lunchtime. Some of the slushy bits were exciting, but it felt great to be out and moving around.

The Canadian postal service recommends that other model and is issuing it as part of the official uniform.

All you folks unhappy with the cold could move here to Melbourne. We've just gone through a heatwave - three days with over 40 degrees Centigrade. Today topped 45 degrees C. And to make it even more uncomfortable we've got electricity blackouts - apparently caused by the bush fires.

Because the heat has disabled railway lines and trains, the government has offered free public transport today as compensation. So I took a free bus to a big shopping mall and spent the day there - ahhh the air conditioning!!!!

Then I came home. It was so hot in my flat that water was coming out of the cold water tap scalding hot. My wooden desk was too hot to sit at. My computer and router were too hot to turn on. And then the power went off.

All I could do was run the cold water in the shower until it was cold and jump in there for a few minutes. Then sit in my boxers on a towel until I was a ball of sweat again and then jump back in the shower. I've been doing that every hour or two. We're supposed to limit our showers to 4 minutes to conserve water. The government has issued everyone little waterproof egg timers to help judge the time. I've gone way over my 4 minutes today.

But now the power is back on and there's a cool change in the weather - it's down to the high 30's. The heat wave is over. I might even get some sleep tonight.

So I thought I'd write in and whinge.

It's upposed to get to over 0 C for the first time since Christmas tomorrow. Or as we say in the IceBox: Shorts weather!

We've got snow!

Patricia · 02-01-2009, 04:03 PM

We too have a light dusting of snow, with more predicted tomorrow.
So my train journey to work is likely to be more troublesome: a lot of the trains start from places which are likely to be snowed up.

zelda_pinwheel · 02-01-2009, 04:04 PM
