    NB>> on the radio that Seattle had quite the dump of snow...   
      
    MK> I heard the same but they didn't say how much.    
      
   I heard 2 feet...    
      
    MK> As far as the Island goes, Ladysmith got the most (40cm), and we're

   That's pretty impressive....    
      
    MK> On the plus side, we managed to avoid the gale force winds and never

   Good that you avoided wind damage.... So far, despite gale force winds,   
   we've not lost power at all this year....   
       
    MK> Also on the snow front news is that we're set to break the alltime   
    MK> record for the amount of snow on the ground for Febuary and it isn't   
    MK> over yet as there is rumour for more on the way after today.  Also the   
    MK> daily high has been well under 0C for the last week which is unusual   
    MK> for this time of year.    
      
   With temps that low, you'll likely keep the snow a while... instead of   
   it just melting off right away....    
      
   We just got a sloppy mess... snow, sleet and freezing rain... made for   
   slushy roads, and then as the temps dropped, that all turned to ice...   
   we were out in it for most of yesterday.... the ice didn't happen until   
   overnight.... and we didn't have to go out today, which was a good   
   thing.... ;)   
      
   ttyl         neb   
      
   ... I was not CREATING a disturbance, I was improving one already there.
