God be with all people in the path of this storm. It is bringing intermittent ice, snow and rain to areas in its path. And thus far many lives have been lost. God's peace surround them all. Amen.

We just had our first day of snow here in B.C. (lower mainland).
Have not been there in the winter but have always wondered what driving is like on some of those steep hills and inclines.

Soon as someone mentions B.C all I want to do is go back...lol:)

In my area it is pretty flat so I am OK. We received 2-3 inches of snow and people were freaking out. Traffic was at a crawl and ferries were shut down (though they said that wind was also an issue). The hills in White Rock would have been scary.
B.C. waits for you. :)

Not good for our blue berry farms here, plant will start budding out to soon, than a cold snap will kill the new growth
Ah. We have a lot of local blueberry farms around here so I understand the concern. I didn't realize that that is not a normal temp. for right now.
