Al was on TV yesterday saying the bad winter weather, cold, snow etc. is all due to global warming. Can someone please tell this guy to quite making a fool of himself. And to think he could have been Pres. LOLOLOL Guess the guy that informed you about global warming has never seen a resending glacier in Europe and probably never even washed out a beaker in high school chem. Yaahh baby! LOL

I wish our local TV weather staffs would stop using the phrase "Minnesota-like" to describe our weather. Plus 5 degrees here this morning too.

2006 Mustang V6 Pony, Vista Blue. Factory ordered.
2019 BMW X3 (Titled to the wife, but I'm always driving it for her. So I'm claiming it)
Old projects, gone but not forgotten:
1967 FB 400, original CA car. After 22 years of work, trashed by the guy who was supposed to paint it. I had to sell it.
1980 Turbo Trans Am
1970 Mustang fastback, 351C 4Bbl, auto
1988 Mustang GT, 5 speed
1983 F-150 4x4, built 302

Yeah, yeah, yeah.. 16-24 inches of snow... 5-6 ft drifts across the driveway... 10-15 ft drifts across certain sections of the county road. We get a couple of those kind of snow storms every year. Take pictures, fire up the John Deere riding snow blower, clear up the driveway, and then wait for the county plows to clear the road.
Thats why you save up a couple of vacation days every year for this type of situaton.
The best part, Jimmy the ground hog (he's our local prognosticator), says he saw his shadow and its going to be an early spring. [censored], that grounhog was buried 2-3ft deep below fresh snow. I doubt he saw daylight, let alone the sunshine!

Ya, Vancouver (and Seattle for that matter) are a lot like that, snow once or twice a year, generally stays on the ground 1-3 days...and the drivers become very "entertaining" for an old prairie boy like me.
I seen one Front WD guy on a bridge deck ramp spin the rubber off his drive wheel, threw on the space saver spare, and proceed to spin the rubber off that! I think he went 10 feet backwards the whole time....
Plus the ones that think they can brake on some of the steep hills we have....junk lot at the bottom, great entertainment for free.
I will have to say tho, when it does snow here, it's wet and greasy compared to the cold powder styrofoam snow.
