Ring out those old bells !! On Feb 12, at 5:45 P.M. the bells of Holy Rosary Csthedral will ring out to ring in the Olympics. The eight bells were cast in France and the U.K. over 100 years ago the largest of them weighing almost a tonne. Acknowledging that this Information is from today's issue of the Vancouver Sun.
The major topic of discussion today is snow. What shall we do if the weather does not cooperate and it often doesn't. This has been the warmest January on record with the snow pack on Cypress Bowl where the snowboarding will be held we hope, from melting and hay being used beneath the snow to keep the ground which is warm from causing the snow to melt .Snow making equipment is busy. Whistler has seen record snows falls so that is good for downhill skiing. Now I ask you did you ever think of hay and snow as complimentery. Relocation is a possibility but I just heard that they have ample reserves of snow and are trucking it in. .... Who knew!! New things to learn all the time.

Oh, they are so kind to be ringing bells on my birthday! Bwahahaha!
LOL trucking in the snow makes me giggle. I know it's not a joke but when we think of Canada we think of cold and snow. I know your weather is not quite like the rest of Canada. Because of where you're located.
Jamie you deserve bells LOL. I hope your birthday is a happy one and you get good gifts :>)
Diana I know Americans think of this as the land of iic and snow but you are right this part is very different and I . itTrucking in snow is definitely funny, Temperature today is 10'C
Never, ever would I have thought of them using hay to stop the snow from melting!
Like mulching in reverse ;>)
