I'm about 17 miles outside of Victoria, gnu. Victoria itself only got around 4 feet and they eventually called the Armed Services in to assist. One of the local radio stations was way better at coordinating emergency responses, than the damned government. Shoveling roofs became a priority too. It was a wake up call for some, to realize, if one really needs a quick response, don't rely on the government come a real emergency, look to yourself, your friends and your neighbours first.

To give you some idea of the amount of snow we receive in some areas of this soggy Island, the mid mountain base on our local ski hill is over 14 feet right now. And down below, we don't even notice 6". It's got to be at least a foot and a half before anyone pays attention.

I seem to be talking at cross purposes here. LOL
