Plus 4 today. Supposed to drop to -25 early next week. That should make everything nice and slippy!

A very cold weekend with highs near -20C. We have a special weather warning too but it has nothing to do with the cold, might get a Nor'easter on Monday... yeah!!!

Posting this here since it is weather related.

A B.C. Hydro power pole from the Interior of the province has washed up hundreds of kilometres away on the rocks of Boundary Bay in Tsawwassen, providing a sobering reminder of the catastrophic flooding that devastated parts of British Columbia two months ago .
The pole was spotted on the beach by an off-duty B.C. Hydro employee on Christmas Day.
By tracing the metal identification plate, officials determined it had floated all the way downriver to the South Coast from the Shackan First Nation community near Merritt — a journey of almost 400 kilometres — after getting swept away by the torrential rains and floods of Nov. 14 and 15.
"We believe that the power pole was swept into the Nicola River, travelled down the Nicola into the Thompson River, past Spences Bridge, all the way down the Fraser River, under the Port Mann Bridge and into the Pacific Ocean. It then bobbed past the Tsawwassen Ferry Terminal, around Point Roberts and ended up in Boundary Bay," said B.C. Hydro spokesperson Kyle Donaldson.

Look at the map on the link. That pole did some travelling and there are many others that haven't been located yet.

A total of 87 B.C. Hydro power poles and 14 transformers from Highway 8 were lost to the floods. Sixty of those poles remain unaccounted for.

Winter storm warning. 
Snow, Rain, howling wind, falling temps, fun and prizes while driving. (Stupid driving = stupid prizes).
One more reason I'm glad I work from home.

Winter storm warning
15 - 25 cm of snow overnight and into Monday morning! Fun times coming. Driving will be a real bitch around here for days!

I'm waiting for this to hit:

The Weather Network has updated their storm watch to say that we're looking
at 40cm of snow from this one.
Tomorrow morning is going to suck, and I might not be able to get my car out
of the lot for starters.

And now they have set a blizzard warning! I’m glad I don’t have to be anywhere!

I went to get groceries, and had trouble getting in my truck. The balk walk and driveway were straight ice. Instead of groceries, I went to Lowes for salt. Saw 3 accidents between here and there, all of them were in intersections that looked like wet pavement, but were straight ice. A couple city busses were stuck on a hill. 
I just passed them and honked.
Had to buy a small bag of de-icer just to be able to get out of my truck without dying.

Went outside this morning, the only thing visible on my car was the rear wiper blade.
