winterchaos at the pacific

Finally! Snow!! After receiving news after news from Europe about how much snow has come down over there, I became a bit jealous. I mean, it's ME who's living in Canada right now, the country of strong, heavy winters with tons of snow, eh?!

So last Saturday the spectacle began....sliding cars all over Vancouver!! I've NEVER seen something like that in my whole life! Cars came gliding down the hills, totally without control, and bumped into the cars already there. At one point I counted 12 cars on the middle of the crossing - unfortunately I didn't bring my camera with me :)))

The next day it was just gorgeos outside - everything covered under at least 10 cm of fresh powder snow. So finally I'm relieved! Winter in Canada! Finally! Snow!!

Hi Anja, ich habe gerade begeistert Deine Kanadaberichte gelesen und Dein Blog gleich auf meinem englischen verlinkt.
Dank dieses Eintrags habe ich jetzt einen etwas befremdlichen Ohrwurm, den ich Dir nicht vorenthalten möchte, vielleicht hast Du ja Heimweh... Hier ist er auf Youtube. Klicken auf eigene Gefahr allerdings. Wiiiiinter in Kanada!

Das klingt ja alles sehr gut bei Euch... und ich werde die Gelegenheit, dass ich mit einer Mandelentzündung zuhause herumsitze, nutzen, um mich endlich mal bei der Welt da draußen zu melden. :-)
Grüße aus Polen, Anke
