Lots of snow here in Maple Ridge, that is for sure! I am not driving anywhere today. Already someone stuck out front of my house.
Anyways, we can all blame my wife for this weather!
My wife is Japanese and we met 4 years ago. Her first and only winter in Vancouver was the winter of 2008 / 2009, the snowiest winter ever and the coldest since the mid 1960's. This, after I told her that winter in Vancouver sees little snow and that temperatures are only on average a couple degrees cooler than Osaka (which they are historically for December and January).
Since then she has only been here in the spring and summer.
This last few weeks I was in Osaka, helping getting her ready to come here again. And again I was telling her that the weather should not be that cold. With dread I saw the coldest November weather I have seen hit Vancouver since I was in elementary school.
Our plane landed yesterday to a snow covered YVR. First thing i heard as we landed was "Yuki desu ka???"
And now today, we woke up, jet lagged, to about 15cm of snow outside.
Let me just say, she no longer believes me that winter is usually green in Vancouver and days that do not break the 0 mark are seldom.
Sorry everyone
hehe
