This is the first White Christmas, right across Canada, since 1971.
Around here, we might get 4 days with snow a year. This year, have had snow on the ground for about 11 days now & it's still coming down

Here are some shots around the house.
Wife's Z4, not going anywhere.

Must keept the entrance clear

Back deck, hot tub is clear, ready for some bodies later

Back parking, My car is supposed to be in that spot, but I couldn't get down the alley this morning.
In front of the CR-V, is my motorcycle.

There is no place left to put the snow

This is the alley I tried to drive down this
morning.

Off to shovel again.

Just heard on the radio, Highway 1 is closed in your neck of the woods.

redshirt1957 · 25 December 2008, 08:09 AM

Rain and 15c at the lake in Alabama. Man is it cold!

Zman86 · 25 December 2008, 08:13 AM

Pouring rain here in Hamilton after almost a week of constant snow...It really sucks...

Welshwatchman · 25 December 2008, 08:50 AM

I'm shivering just looking at the pics, John.

Irish Dan · 25 December 2008, 08:50 AM

It has been 15 years since we have had this much snow.

I heard on the Radio, Seattle has not had this much snow on Xmas day, since 1860. Yes 148 years ago

Global warming at it's finest

mailman · 25 December 2008, 09:14 PM

That's crazy bro

We average around 100" of the white sh!t every year. So far this year 39" has fallen. Normal avg for this time is 25"

We're running out of places to put it also.

I can't ever remember plowing for as many consecutive days as I have this week. From last Fri until yesterday.

You have to find a place to keep the motorcycle in the winter

buz-lh · 25 December 2008, 09:21 PM

High today in Atlanta 63F, but rain. Snow is to play in, not live in. I hope it goes away soon for you guys stuck in it.

ratae1950 · 26 December 2008, 05:36 AM

You lumberjacks can handle it.

For my money you live in the most beautiful city in North America!

JJ Irani · 26 December 2008, 05:40 AM

WHOA!! That is some serious heavy snowfall for a place like Vancouver.

Come to Auckland, guys.....an expected high of 23ºC (around 73ºF) today!!

Yume-sama · 26 December 2008, 06:15 AM

Kind of glad I'm not in Vancouver right now. Hah hah.

Not that Calgary is any better, and is in fact *much* colder.

B Square · 26 December 2008, 06:21 AM

Sunny and 66 here in NC

But our day will come

dman · 26 December 2008, 02:07 PM

My parents are getting hammered still in Seattle. They think it might break this weekend, but who knows? I hope it does because they are so sick of it it is not funny.

diversified · 26 December 2008, 02:22 PM

Well John, at least you now know that the roof over the hot tub was built well with all that snow on it.

Bisquitlips · 26 December 2008, 03:02 PM

Wow!

We are not that bad here in Missouri, but if we were I would be building a snowman and making snow ice cream!!

It was an ALL TIME RECORD for snow accumulation on the ground on Christmas Day here.
To top it off, it's snowing again right now. Another 15cm expected before it warms up tomorrow.
Expecting heavy rain & temps around 9 C tomorrow. It will BE UGLY, with flooding, if that weather system does arrive. All the strom drains are frozen over

Gentleman8 · 28 December 2008, 11:37 AM

What, you call that snow..? I guess you've never been to Montreal my man..

diversified · 28 December 2008, 02:39 PM

I've just been told today the the roof on a friends business building in the city of London, Canada collapsed from the snow. $90,000 to fix it. I'll bet that made their day!

Latrodectus · 28 December 2008, 02:52 PM

John, that would be too much for me

Boopie · 28 December 2008, 03:12 PM

I was in Palm Springs from 12/20-12/24 and man, it was cold! It rained here all day on 12/25 but today it was a chilly 50 degrees. Global warming...

I'm loving the snow on Vancouver Island John.

By the way, here's a picture from the front steps of my in-laws on Boxing Day morning. You can barely see the road.
