Wassup, Weather Gods?

Seriously. Can I plant my four year old's bean stalk in the garden yet? I don't want to kill the darn thing.

We have a magic window sill that can grow just about anything. Two years ago, A's preschool bean stalk grew up to the top of the window, so tall that I had to support it with straws taped together. I moved it out to the garden and before I knew it, it was over my head (maybe there's some truth to that Jack story ;) We were eating beans off it for a couple of months.

Now J has one too, and it's looking like it wants to go outside. I honestly don't know if he remembers A's beanstalk, or would even care if his went outside and died, but it would bug me.

So I ask you, yet again, southern BC weather peeps, are we DONE with the cold and snow already???

NOW We Get The Snow...

Huh.

I've given up trying to figure out or predict this year's weather. At the moment it's 4C and it's snowing like mad! Sticking and everything. Glad I didn't pack away the snow pants. Yeesh.

No Snow!

Woke up today to beautiful blue skies and no snow on the ground. It's windy though, so God only knows what that'll bring, lol...

More Snow?

In March? In Vancouver? You've got to be kidding me! That's what they've forecast, anyway. It's supposed to start at about midnight, so we'll just see what happens. Yikes.

Snow? What Snow?

Apparently we're not done yet! At the moment it's -3C and there's about an inch of snow on the ground. If you're from the east or northern BC you're laughing at that, but lemme tell ya, this is weird for the south coast of BC this close to March.

The snow itself is not too bad, but today it's pretty icy. So far my snow boots have kept me upright, but I keep hearing good things about those attachable grips that you can put on your shoes. When the snow is too deep for shoes or too cold for rain boots, they seem silly, but it's a day like today that they're clearly designed for...
