we have SNOW

Winter Olympics with no snow!! what could be worse I ask you? As one local wit remarked " Who in their right mind would choose to have the Winter Olympics in a rain forest" LOL. Of course we did have snow last year but for how long is anybody's guess unless you were here for the winter. I was not. I spent Christmas in Northern Quebec where snow is the norm . When we got home the snow had up and left. We were gone for only 11 days so draw your own conclusion about snow and winter in Vancouver. Our winters have been getting warmer and warmer over the years. I remember in 1942 when it was really cold and we had a lot of snow for a month. Bad winter. We had no fuel so it was particularly chilly. The city ran out of fuel to deliver to homes but that's another story :>(
Well the snow has started up on the top of Cypress Mountain not much about 6 inches, we'll need a lot more than that. They tell us that there are snow makers who are up and ready to make sure we have snow. I hope you will all pray for a snowstorm for Vancouver. It is not too likely as we generally have flowers blooming in February and this month the February flowers are coming up in January.
I can only hope that the snowmakers are good :>)) I wish The English language had a lot more words for snow like the Inuit language does then I would not have to repeat that word so often.
However we will have a lot of beautiful infrastructure as a result of these games. That's nice !!
On another topic, one red sock is finished and the other started. Now that's progress!!
