AS THE TOP PICTURE from a previous year shows, snowy winter weather has appeared in the Fraser Valley Region of BC. I'm sure it wasn't a dream. I recall shoveling several times in winters past, especially in 2008/2009 when unrelenting flakes seemed to never stop falling.
Ironically, now that the 2010 Winter Olympics are soon upon us and weather pressures are high, there has been plenty of rain but almost no snow in Vancouver or surrounding areas so far this year.
Although I was probably looking in all the wrong places ...
I recently went "puddling" in and around the Ocean Park area of Surrey in search of the fluffy stuff.
There were no sightings. I was not able to find a trace of winter white anywhere.
But since there have been many sudden snowfall surprises in the past ...
fresh flurries could make the landscape quite slippery …
frosty and chilly VERY fast!
Do YOU Believe? A lot of people are hoping it will snow in time for the games.
