Well,...old man winter has set his foot in the door for now and it's going to be looking like this for at least a few hours now.....
All this because I went and bought a bike which I thought I could ride for most of the winter out here, since from what Wendy told me " It NEVER snows on the island and if it does, it's gone the next day"........you be the judge.  A few of my deck and some around the parking lot ....it's over the knee, so I won't be taking too much of a walk to get more angles.......

Looks like your bike is ready to go, it's even giving you the
green
light. What are those tall fences running along 2 sides of something?

Hi Ken... Wink

My sister called me this morning, said they had snow on the island, I just laughed at her, everything shuts down on the island and in Vancouver when they get a snow flake.  Grin LOL

We have two children stationed in B.C. and two on the East Coast of Canada.  I have a sister and a brother on both coasts as well with the rest like our children and family all over the planet.

We have about a good foot of snow here now but yesterday and last night we had freezing rain, power was out in a lot of places along the Highway #7 corridor.  Very high winds right now and more snow on the way, good day to stay inside by the fireplace and enjoy a good Brandy.

Don't worry Ken the temperature will be up in the two digits this week again and you can kiss the snow goodby.   Cry

Cheers...Happy Landings...Doug
