jazzfishSnow in Vancouver, so of course I came back this week. It's been record-breakingly cold (minus teens, I believe), and the snow from the weekend hadn't melted when it dropped another I'm guessing 15cm last night / this morning. Translink is referring to it as "an extreme travel day" and recommending that people stay home.
I came in to work, mostly because I walked out the door of the coffeeshop where I got breakfast (poached eggs on smoked salmon on toast; not quite an Eggs Halifax but decent) and saw someone getting out of an Evo (Vancouver-based carshare). I was already Not Excited about sitting in my Airbnb and using the work VPN which spent last week being extremely flaky, so I snagged the car and took half an hour to drive the 5km to work.
This is I suppose better than back home, which got ~20cm of snow last Friday morning when we left and was reportedly minus forty degrees this morning.
... and now it's dumping something serious out there, again/still. Definitely time to head for "home".
