So it went from record breaking rain fall and a 12 day boil water advisory for a million or so Vancouverites to a winter wonderland. Or winter hell for those who live here because it ‘never snows’ and because of our guaranteed two season only city with year round mild temperatures, rain, heavy rain and showers with some sunny breaks that CAN last up to weeks at a time. Holy I could SO be Tamara Taggart with that report. It is THAT good. And this is my second weather related post.
I love it when it snows in Vancouver. People seriously lose their minds. LOSE THEM. GONE. And then they get behind the wheel of a car. It is like people who have never seen the mountains and then they see the mountains and they totally flip out and want to be one with the mountain or some shit and don’t realize mountains have danger and get eaten by a Bobcat. Granted those people don’t get behind the wheel of a car again.
Also,
SUN = Sun Hat
RAIN = Umbrella; and
SNOW = TOQUE
The boil water advisory was only an issue for I’m sure the exact same people who lose their minds when it snows here. Now that it is over I’ll say I hope the fuck wads who ‘fought’ over bottled water and displayed other episodes of idiocy are ashamed of themselves. Big deal so we had to boil some water. We still had water. Why not spend a few minutes thinking of places, Countries where a child has never even HEARD of the word ‘bottled’ water and no village for miles even has a fresh water source. As far as natural disasters go it was pretty tame, a mild inconvenience at most.
Today it is cold, the snow has stopped and a cold front has moved in. I feel like a pussy. This is where people never believe me that I really did grow up in the North with snow from October 31st till whenever the ski hill closes because I am totally acclimatized and I’m sorry but -6 when surrounded by ocean feels a shit load colder than a dry -20 or lower in the north.
I need to go to Shoppers Drug Mart and get some stuff but the roads have not been sanded, salted or cleared, the city is very low on plows and it is a sheet of ice out my window. If I hear one more idiots tires spinning out I’m going to scream. Less gas more patience people.
Did I mention I LOVE IT when it snows here?
