Snow Snow Snow
Well we got a lot of snow last night. As did the rest of BC. Apparently there where something like 60K homes in BC without power at one point. Luckily for us our power came back on just before midnight. We also had a gas fireplace, stove, and hot water tank. We lite some candles and played some crib.
I drove Tony to the bus this morning so he could make it over to Vancouver for some appointments today. The roads where just dead. He also had some helpful pointers for driving in the snow, as this amount of snow is the norm for Terrace(Where he spent some time). I then came down to work at 8:30, the roads where still pretty dead. My boss is snowed in today so I am manning the shop, and may get to go home early.
So the buses are not doing well on the roads. I would have thought that all there weight would make then handle OK. But I saw a bus get stuck just in front of my home on Richmond. Then saw another being towed off the curb a little farther away. When I went to get my coffee from Starbucks, thanks to the wonderful baristas who braved the snow to bring us caffeine, they told me that a much had slid sideways back down Ceaderhill X Rd the other day. I think the buses are just restarting now at 9 am, as they are pulling away from the bus stop in front of the shop(Which is on Fort St).
Everyone keep warm and safe.
