WEST COAST HIT BY SNOWSTORM WATER ADVISORY LIFTED
Topic: November 27, 2006

"So, how are you coping?  I heard you had a big snowstorm."

"Vancouver Island hasn't seen so much snow since the big blizzard of '97!"

"And so soon after all that rain.  Such a shame.  Are you able to drink the water yet?"

"Oh yeah, that.  The advisory is over.  We still have another case of Cabernet so we'll try the water when we're through with that."

"Were you able to drive today?  The road on TV looked awful."

"Well, I didn't have a window scraper so I used a badminton racquet and an empty cd case.  By the time I cleared the snow off the car, the driveway filled in again so I decided to stay home.  Instead, we walked up the hill near the house and tobogganed with the kids."

"The hill?  Isn't that on the other side of the school?"

"Yeah."

"And the kids didn't go to school?"

"Nope.  Closed.  We'd have gone skiing but they don't open until Thursday."

"We get that amount of snow here and it's just another day.  Everyone goes to school, and work."

"Your point?"

"You didn't work either!"

"So?"

"But you work at home!"

"But it's a damp cold here and where you are, it's a dry cold."

"Well, I've heard that's true."

"We get so few of these storms that everything shuts down.  You hang out with the kids, drink some wine, smoke some...oops, gotta go, the hot tub's ready. I just love snow days on the west coast, bye!"
