It rained and rained and rained and rained

Today it (see above). I have never seen it rain for so long and so hard, ever. For all the Australian's reading this and basking in the sunshine, it is 6 degrees and has been all day. Considering the wind chill factor, the weather channel says it feels like 2 degrees, and it sure feels that cold to me - it isn't even winter yet. Mind you, Blackcombe ski resort, which is just a short drive from Vancouver, opened today, which is said to be early. Apparently last winter was very mild and consequently produced a terrible ski season, so things are looking up for people depending on the snow this year. Washington state is ...errr... awash with snow this weekend. There are reports of 5 feet of snow in some places. I am just busting to see snow. Preferably if I don't have to drive to see it. Driving in those conditions seems a bit nerve racking. If this keeps up, maybe we will have a white christmas after all.
