Snow Much Fun (snow pics)

zivan56 · #1 Posted **Dec 23, 2008, 12:12 AM**

Well I managed to get out and take some pictures with my new camera. I didn't want to bring the telephoto lens, so had to use the 18-55mm lens. It's mostly from QE park and on side streets beside the Cambie Village. If anybody else has some snow pics, feel free to post them here.
Enjoy!

Beautiful shots. Sure was a lot of snow on the ground today. I dread what is still to come. I just hope the weather doesn't prevent me from getting together with my family for Christmas!

Nice pictures! Sure was nice when the sun came out today. And wet! And annoying trying to drive down any side street or alley. But that's ok, I'll put up with that for this snow

I see there's another 10-20cm forecast over the next 24 or so hours, stay warm guys!

Those are great pictures. It's nice to watch the scenery from your window... not so much navigating through the snow >___>

More snow than even here in Winnipeg, but you'll never be as cold!

Thanks guys. I was just having coffee in Yaletown and it was hilarious watching people in summer tires just going back on forth in the same spot...or getting stuck every couple of metres. I was rather surprised that they didn't bother cleaning those streets.

I drove to Calgary from Van last night and just missed the snow, thankfully, but too bad I'm missing all this new snow in Van. I wonder what will be left when I get back in the new year...

SpongeG · #14 Posted **Dec 24, 2008, 9:24 PM**

taken 15 minutes ago and the snow is still coming down heavy suppossed to snow all day into the night up to 30 cm by the am :O

gonna take a walk to the mall and get some more pics - but i hear a power outage in the area so the mall might be closed - ttoo much snow on some power lines apparently...

i am stuck in calgary right now, with my flight for tomroorw cancelled likely. snow is no good...

there is a power outage in this part of the LM - some of the intersections have no traffic lights so its kinda messy as some cards just zoom through ignoring the 4 way stop rule

it appears lougheed mall was not affected but some other businesses along north road were without power

this car hasn't moved for over a week

more non-movers

dead lights and the three towers have no power either
