It has snowed so much last night (and still today!) that there is a nice slick cover over all the ice that has formed from the last snowfall and subsequent partial melt.
Ahhhh, perfect conditions for an accident!

As a result, and to Franklin's absolute delight, we took the bus to work today. It is beautiful out - but deadly. I'm not worried about my driving or the car, I'm more worried about the other drivers out there who drive like stiff armed robots and slam on the brake with every skid.

It's still snowing out there and it's 12 noon! Boy, it sure smells great. This is very strange weather for Victoria.

The last time it snowed similar to this was the Christmas that D and I met. He was supposed to leave Edmonton (where I was going to school) and go back to Victoria (to work). There was a record snowfall of 124 cm in two days and his flight was delayed. He called work to say it was pointless coming back as all roads were blocked - and that he has met the woman of his dreams and really thought it was important to stay.

The rest, as they say, is history...
