Need to see the snow!!

Post by Drooper »

Going to seem a strange request but can anyone post some pics of what the weather is like where you are at the moment please?

I know that you get a lot of snow overthere in the winter and we get nothing, as I have said before I love the cold weather and just need a little sample of it to make me feel better. Its really mild over here at the moment, we keep getting threats of cold bad weather but other tha a bit of frost we haven't really had anything yet. :cry:


Thanks guys

It's looking like it's gonna get worse before it gets better here :-( I'm by no means a workaholic, but I do like the option - and as a gardener, well, I do have a stack of books and delica.ca to keep me entertained - looking forward to the RAIN though! :M :-)

Not often that we can use a leaf blower to clear the driveway, but it's unusually cold now and the snow is light and really dry

Okay, Drooper, you'd better appreciate these. I actually opened the window or door to take these photos. I'm in Calgary, Alberta, and the temperature has risen to a balmy -20 from this morning's -30

Here is the view of our back steps and deck. Yes the snow is beautiful. But it is cold!

And here is the Delica, sitting quietly in the driveway, hoping not to go anywhere.

Now I just have to warm up, after the 10 seconds of exposure :-)

Here's a few more for ya Drooper:

Hazelnut and the pooches ready for a winter walk - the poodle-X has very little insulation and feet that pickup tons of snow, hence the doggy apparal!

It’s not a strange request at all Drooper, I too find myself missing snow. Even find myself checking the BC highway webcams almost every morning to get an idea of what weather friends and family are experiencing.

Here’s a great shot of Adam’s Delica under a pile of the white stuff; love it. - http://www.delica.ca/forum/tire-chains- ... -4326.html. That kind of snow depth is great for taking the kids out and playing in until completely soaked, then changing and heading out again. A Delica is perfect vehicle in BC for loading up a gang and heading into the mountains for some play time.

I would like to see another picture of David's Christmas Delica in the snow!

Konadog is this picture Alder St? - be careful driving everbody!

Thank you posting guys!!!!

That's Birch St. looking north from just north of Mercroft - Pinecrest School is there on the left. The other about town shot is the top of Dogwood, again just north of Mercroft, (infront of the city works yard) looking west across the Island. Hunkering down right now 'cause the latest storm just started dumping more...
