   Hey Nancy!   
      
    NB> Definitely bragging rights, for sure   
      
   And as of tonight, we still have the evidence on the ground although not   
   nearly as deep.  As for bragging rights I am not convinced it is/was worth it.   
      
    NB> And did you get the rain as you expected...?   
      
   Yes although not that much.  More of a shower than a rain event.  However,   
   just across the Strait in Vancouver, they got another dump of snow in the   
   neighbourhoods at higher elevations (Burnaby) that caused grief for   
   commuters.  I didn't hear about any major outages or anything of that nature   
   so it sounded like another weather annoyance amongst all the rest of the   
   weather annoyances for this Febuary.  Sure is an odd one as far as any past   
   Febuarys I have witnessed.   
      
   As we speak, ~8pm PST, it is -3C and a wind warning for just south of us for   
   the southern Gulf Islands and Victoria, as well as Vancouver and the Fraser   
   Valley which is expected to see the worst of it.  Here in Ladysmith we're just   
   seeing the colder temps of the so-called Arctic outflow and are predicted to   
   escape the gale force winds that are at the heart of the subzero temperatures.   
      
    NB> We've been having a wind storm, yesterday and today   
      
   We heard.  No word about any major damage though so hopefully you've managed   
   to dodge another one of Mother Nature's temper tantrums.   
      
    NB> Only a handful of people in the area lost power, which is pretty   
    NB> good, considering the wind....   
      
   For sure.  As for us, we'll know tomorrow whether of not we escaped yet   
   another blow.  So far so good but we're still getting the cold shoulder from   
   Mother Nature.   
      
   Life is good,   
   Maurice
