I moved from HIGHEST POINT ON WW to Dayanee Spring. NO MORE SNOW PROBLEM!
I would still drive up there occasionally for fun.

There might be some snow on higher elevations this weekend.
There is still lots of snow on the side of the roads up on SFU, and then that shit melts in the day and freezes at night. Makes for a dangerous drive late at night and early in the morning when I go to work.

Only down side is the weather network is not that reliable. I find the government site a lot more accurate.

Then compare and adjust for my exact location. Between the 3 averaged its usually pretty close. THe part of Surrey I live in. Fraser Heights usually gets about 3x the snow that Vancouver gets. (Snow is still over 40cms deep in my yard) If ya don't belive me I'll take pics to prove it.

With the weather network, they can post it, then change it 2 or 3 times in a day and still be wrong when it is a few days away. Their 7 day forecast is just horrible, and don't get me started on their 14 day forcast.

I'll go and grab the camera, but here is a pic from last week. Very little of this has melted. Only stuff that melted was the thin layer areas on the car.

Ok here are the pics. These were taken as of 2pm Feb 5th
For the most part, the only melted area's are because we had shoveled it or salted it. The main alley the 3 houses that use it, all chipped in and paid to have plowed as the city won't do our alley way.
Back Yard 
Temp Parts Storage shelf 
Back Alley behind House. 
Trailer, only reason you can see half of it, is I dug it out to get to the job box. 
Front Yard 
Front yard from Street 
Neighbors yard from street.

Then compare and adjust for my exact location. Between the 3 averaged its usually pretty close. | Weather forecast in our neck of the woods is next to impossible to predict. I have a friend who used to be a meteorologist and he says we are in the worst part of the planet for predicting weather. The jet streams that crisscross and the other factors like ocean currents, tides, localized pressure changes, moisture, etc. make it impossible to predict accurately more than 12 hours ahead. Major patterns are OK, but even then, when and for how long it stays that way is a problem. We live in a rainforest-type environment, so how much latent heat and moisture is in the ground, for example, can never be measured accurately. I probably explained it all wrong, but he went into some great detail as to why we live in such an unpredictable climate (kinda like our sports teams, LOL).
Sorry for the intrusion........... carry on.

Wow I've only moved for a week or so, but I already feel so distanced from the snow hell I was once in.
