This was out my back door during the first one last week. We've had 2 more since!! Crazy. The past record was back in '96

When I drove out last week, I saw many cars derailed.
IJust perfect conditions for my snow+ice tires with studs ! Damn, I would not get out of the car!
And we had almost no snow this year
I also have 4WD 7 seat Suv.We have 2 AWD vehicles that did perfectly in the snow. I think the deepest I went through was about 8-10", but it handled it like a champ!
They have more snow in Vancouver Island.It's the same on Vancouver Island ...

It is too bad not to be able to use nice winter car.
I may be happy to use it.
People on East Washington are used to driving on icy road., but they are not on the western side.
The reason is that other novice driver may skid toward my car.
The funniest thing is that the yellow and purple flowers we had after Christmas are under the snow now.
Snow is good, snow is peace. It's very very quiet, the type of sound I like, best for everything...including sweet music. ...Small birds wondering, ducks flying, eagles flapping wings, creeks running, squirrels asking questions, dogs playing, kids having fun.
I also worry about power outage during winter storm.Under the thick blanket of the forest the ground is open in some patches.
Yeah I'd say we had approximately 60 cm total in the last few days since it first started.
Normally we would lose power...anytime now ...
