meh... They lied last year.
And in preparation to the false alarm, I went and bought these NorthFace winter boots.
I'm all prepared for that nasty 09' (or was it 2008??) Winter.

So next game is the 12th, right? Fricking Canucks iPod app merged both 2010 season and 2011 season. There's a game on just about every day. The real dumb thing is, it's using the 2010 calendar and has scores from that season, on top of this years games and times. I'm just going to trash the fricken app. The videos, news, etc. are all uptodate. Weird.


Probably need to update the app, but whatever.........

Has last year's playoff games and scores............:devil:

It was. It's just that due to the way the Lower Mainland situated, we were shielded from the brunt of it. The rest of BC and Canada were hit hard.

There were a few good snowfalls in Vancouver. I remember a couple in the 60's. One in the early 80's. Lots of the stuff. My 77 Civic was completely under snow.

1996 was nice, too.

I love the snow........shovelling it is so exhilarating. Only because it's not like every day of the year, LOLOLOLOL.

If I were you, I wouldn't be worried about getting myself around in the snow, it's more about the destruction derby participants' ability to avoid hitting me -.-.

There was one when I was in grade 6 or 7, so that would have been 1990 or 91, where we got an epic snowfall in like November. My friend's yard was a huge slope, so we spent an entire day making sled trails... By the end, his yard looked like a ski resort. That was like one of the best days a 12 year old can possibly have. :bowdown:

Wow, Skinny.......... you almost sound human..........


I think everyone wishes they were kids again, and snow........ well, it brings out those fond memories.

I remember making my first igloo. My buddies and I played in that igloo for what seemed like an eternity. Huge flakes of snow falling and everything being so bright, even at night. This in the middle of the DTES. It could have been on top of a mountain or in some lost valley.
