I think the last time that Vancouver was this cold, for this long a period, was way back in 1983 when I vaguely remember blizzard-like conditions.
However, I was a small kid then and I loved it because schools were closed and I couldn’t drive anyways. Nowadays, I hate it.
Especially with my Mustang being terrible in the snow I simply can’t do anything. The summer performance tires turn into hockey pucks, further worsening my car’s winter handling capabilities.
I took it out yesterday afternoon and the Stang’s rear end was pretty loose on acceleration.
The sub-zero temperatures are supposed to stick around until next week, but we’re getting another dump of snow this weekend. With a daily high of -1 degrees Celsius I’m looking forward to rain and anything above zero.
The many fountains in my neighborhood have almost frozen up and some have turned into mini ice volcanoes.
Such a change from just two months ago. Brrrrrr!

It’s been quite cold and snowy here lately as well, but then again, that’s part of the reason I have a 4-wheel-drive vehicle
Great to see you back to the blogging though
