When it started to snow on Sunday everyone at work was not only worried but people started to call for rides to make sure that they would be able to get home. Fair enough, I wouldn't want to be stuck at work with no way home either. Taxi lines were busy, buses were out of service and even flights were being cancelled. There was a panic: people were not getting a satellite signal on their tellies! What to do? Cars driving no faster than 20 miles per hour if that, cars abandon on the side of the road and even main roads between suburbs were closed down. After I was finished work I taught some friends how we make snowmen Canadian stylez!
Coming from Canada I found the snow not only really nostalgic but really pretty not having seen any since I landed in Edmonton in February last year. Lucky for me it didn't last that long but it was sure cold!
I am sure there are a lot of people out there that think of Canada as a waste land of snow since we bark really loud about how cold it gets. To be honest the snow itself isn't the thing about Canada I dislike it is the -30C.

Here, like Vancouver they are NOT prepared for snow fall, snow removal seems to be non-existent. They throw salt and gravel over what snow they do get in hopes that it will melt as quickly as it came. As long as it doesn't get any colder than the lows of -8C I think I will be all right. A
