We're even getting it here on southern Vancouver Island. We finally got the wood in, the fire's blasting out heat, coffee and soup's on and the dogs are curled up.

Even if we do get a repeat of '96 and snow to fence tops and no power, we're prepared to savour it this time. I love it when we can tell customers we're snowed in and can't deal with their "emergencies" and truly relax for a change.
