I was outside most of yesterday in a t-shirt and enjoying what was left of fall...then I got up this morning to 8" of snow on the ground. Wow...winter is here with a vengence. Guess I am going to have to put the heater fan back in the Bronc...and get my sled running. :D

:finger: Yeah, it rained here today (again) followed by a bit of sun, followed by more rain.........Ahhh, the wonderful world of BCs lower mainland. 9.5 months of Spring, and less than a week of light "winter"

We gotta be sittin at 16 inches by now. :D :D :D I keep shovelling and it keeps falling. Snowing right now infact. Remembered how bad my A/T's are on a hill with a foot of snow. The Bronc is currently wedged b/w two trees at the bottom of a hill waiting for me to get the tractor to pull it out...slid like 50 feet backwards then the rad boiled over. Think I may have not had antifreeze in there...maybe I should check that out before it gets any colder. Only like -2 here right now. Like 31 for you 'mericans...i think... :hmmm:

Snowbird and Alta have around 50"+ of snow. They said it snowed over 8 feet and it was wet and compacted down to 50 or so inches. More snow is forcasted this week (like 2-3 feet!). I love winter. :D
