That’s a lot of snow, man.
Of course we couldn’t let the week go by without mentioning the S-N-O-W this past Saturday (my mum doesn’t let me say the word ever since we lived in Northern BC with a lot of S-N-O-W). Has April become the new December? Central Vancouver Island got hit with 24 centimetres of snow in about a six hour period overnight – the city hadn’t seen measurable snow on April 19 since 1947 and the previous record for the Nanaimo airport was April 12 in 1981 with just 4.9 centimetres. Ouch!
So, Saturday morning we woke up at… ok, the kids woke up at 6:30 (we woke up at 6:31) and the first thing they wanted to do was make a giant snowman. Second thing, of course; put on the bathing suits – no, really…
