Don't let them fool you Lance, I heard on the news that there was over 300 car accidents since yesterday...in Calgary

Some of us BCers grew up out there. yes they don't know snow here but thats cuz they never get it, but the snow this time isn't normal for out here as we usaly don't get down to friggin -18 with the windchill it is alberta snow this time as I can lift a full shovel

and as a side treat we got freezing rain last nigh, boy did I have fun going to fill up some water jugs and get coffee.

I was suposed to go camping this weekend, to much snow infront of the trailer now to get it out

You also have to remember Calgary is relatively flat compared to Vancouver and the lower mainland. The main roads are not to bad if you behave your self the side streets and alleys are a differant story. We were sent home from work today as we spend most of our day trying to navigate the side roads and back alleys.

Well I just wanted to rant, so I am gonna go now.

I trust you watched the ceremony on the tube. Very nice! Congrats Trevor and Good Luck!

You didn't miss much... Edmonton lost anyway.

Sucks you had to miss the game.

I got stranded in Abbotsford that night, the highway was closed by the time I got off work, but going into work at 1pm was miserable, windy and poor visibility, saw a good 10+ cars and semis in various ditches and accidents.
