Snow Swamps BC Lower Mainland
An unusual amount of snow has hammered the lower mainland of BC. We're fortunate to work from home, but others in our townhouse complex who must drive have been having trouble. It took our snow contractors three days to show up due to their incredible work load, so as council president I found myself laying snow melt the first evening of the dump, shoveling the treacherously sloped main entranceway into the complex with my wife Yumi the second day and laying more snow melt, and clearing sidewalks today. The prerogatives of power! :-)
Here's a few shots of our complex, and a few along the way up the hill to my Mom's condo:
The view from our balcony this morning.
The pool surrounded by snow.
Trees with limbs broken by the weight of the wet snow in Ron McLean park.
Here I am beneath the Skytrain on the way to Mom's with a poinsettia.
Yumi between Nikkei Place and the Alan Emmott Centre with Mom's condo tower in the background.
A snowy pond in the gardens at Nikkei Place.
Snowy mountains with Highgate Village towers in the foreground.
City in the Park towers near Edmonds Skytrain station.
Our townhouse complex is just in front of the line of evergreens below the towers.
