Good evening folks.

I'm glad that I managed to get today off and subsequently planned to do nothing with the time. Oh rather, I planned that this would be the day that I spent digging out my car and then driving out to my parents' for Christmas eve. That turned out to be an accurate estimate, as it took me a solid chunk of my morning and early afternoon to remove the snow drift from around my car.

Unfortunately, we decided that it might not be a good idea to attempt to truck Angela out from New West for Christmas Eve, mostly because we were afraid we might not be able to put her back again afterward. Sad; I'll have to give her Christmas gifts later.

For those of you who don't know, Metro Vancouver is buried under 2 1/2 feet of snow, in some places (mostly around your car... mostly). Though there have been short breaks, it snowed almost the entire day today. This is in addition to all the snow we've had since last weekend. Rain is in the forecast, so within the next week we may have flooding to contend with too.

So if you live in the lower mainland, I suggest you snuggle in for Christmas and enjoy the festive atmosphere. Merry Christmas everyone.
