Vancouver Gets a Taste of Canadian Winter Spirit
A heavy snow hit Vancouver over the weekend. UBC area banked over 6 inches of snow. Yeah, D'Arcy is probably thinking what'ya talking about? Half of a foot?! That's probably the lowest record of snow fall in Calgary or Regina throughout the winter. Although the temperature is only -7 Celsius but my Vancouver grown up co-workers are complaining they are dropped into an ice cube! They wouldn't believe me about “delivering news papers in the -35 Celsius temperature”. UBC was shut down on Monday due to power outage caused by the “heavy” snow? The city engineers are spraying salt like crazy all over the city. Hope they didn't have to “burrow” road salt from Calgary! :)

yeah. that's rough. -7C with a bit of snow. :-)
waiting for the bus yesterday afternoon, the windchill dropped below -40?C. I felt flesh actually freeze. As in ice crystals formed inside my ears...

Man, just reading this is making me cold! Yeah, I remember my breath being frozen around my mask... The good thing is that you don't have to worry about feeling cold for a long period of time. Normally, you would feel numbness after 10-15 minutes... Then they carry you onto the bus! :)
