Playing In The Snow

We got hit a with major dumping of snow over the weekend and that has created driving hell during morning rush hour today. Well, that’s what I heard anyway since I was still asleep during the morning rush. :twisted:

When I did get up to head to Fitness World for my morning workout, I got a taste of what the rat racers went through. It was pretty bad out there. It was especially bad in Richmond because they don’t salt their roads very well. The logic is Richmond is as flat as a pancake so you shouldn’t get stuck. Ya, right.

Sally is really enjoying the snow. I helped her made a snowman and we had a great time throwing snowballs at cars. I also got to test out the car’s traction control during the trip to lunch. It was pretty fun. But I doubt it’ll be fun for anyone heading home during rush hour tonight!

I really wished that in our country, there would be atleast one 24h snowy climate in our tropical country. Snow is nice, i think.

Looks like Sally really enjoy playing with snow. It looks so cold out there.

Nice...I can look out my window right now and see the same thing, although it's night time, but I know it's there...lurking, waiting to make me cold again...till we meet again pale, frosty demon of the ground.

White Christmas, was awesome

I love the pic of you and Sally with the snowman inside on the tray. I'm pretty sure the day you had all that snow I was here in a tank top and shorts. LOL Didn't feel like Christmas with the heat here in FL so it was nice to see alllll that white snow...beautiful.

waaaaa!! i also want to play that snow!!

How I wish it would snow here down in LA :( However, all hell would break loose when no one can get on the 10 freeway, lol.

I like the snow is cool.

we had ice overnight, i was trying to rush to get to work, hurriedly ran out the front door, not seeing any ice on the steps to porch of my house and slipped, but with cat-like reflexes i was able to save myself from hitting my head on the steps, except my butt hurts now and my iphone is scratched on the back!! damnit not the iphone!!! (true story)

That picture looks awesome!

She throws like her dad... haha JK.

Looks like we got more snow than you but that's a lot for Vancouver/Richmond. Starting to melt now though... slowly.

In my neck of the woods we just got ice and sleet. They don't write Christmas songs about that.

Hmmm that gives me a great idea!!! lol

its straange to have so much of snow in Vancouver

John,

Great pictures! I am originally from Chicago and I remember all that snow. I now live in Philadelphia and we don't get that amount here.

I love your site and blog. I was recommended to come by your site from my coach Alex Jeffreys. He told me that your site will blow my mind with all of your knowledge and help to other internet marketers and bloggers. I am just starting out on this journey and love the information. I signed up for your ebook and look forward to read that. Thanks again.

Have a wonderful holiday season and peaceful new year.

Hello there,

Lovely pictures of Sally in the snow. My son is 21 months he would love some snow to play in, but we don't get too much now in Scotland. Maybe in January or February.

I totally agree with you on the childcare issue - it's vital for me to keep my children at home, five is old enough to go to school and be cared for by others. It's sad that so many women do not have the choice.

I am a student of Alex Jeffreys, part of a team of students that are learning from him, we all have blogs and are encouraged to look at professional bloggers blogs to get tips and such, its lovely to look at yours because as well as the business side you have the personal side too.

Best wishes,

Ruth Stewart

Awww how fortunate.. Happy family john

Well, I don't really mind it. The only sucky thing is when it turns to ice. I almost slipped a few times.

I like to the snow weather in Canada..didn't have the chance to experience it. So John, how cold was it? 0-10 Celsius?

Wish we had at least a little of such snowfalls here in India! :(

Love the snowman.

And It's been snowing here like crazy as well for at least two weeks now. We got 6 inches.

Reminds of my first snow. I was just from my home land in the Philippines and came to Columbus OH in December ! Talk about a shock. The coldest temperature I had ever experienced was about 65 degrees F ! That was in a large drink cool once when I worked in the city. y husband says it always 90/90 where I am from. 90 percent humidity and 90 F.

My favourite pic is the one with John and Sally with the snowman inside hehehe - cute

The 'rat racers', eh? :)

Love the miniature snowman picture!

I live on the fast track. :P

Fortunately, there is no snow in Wellington during winter, temperature hardly drop below zero centigrade. But the snow capped mountains are simple gorgeous!

We just got freezing rain, sleet, hail, and a little snow. Isn't everyone so jealous?! My kids were sledding on ice covered grass. They had a blast until the weather turned to all rain. That's weather for you outside of Philadelphia!

Malaysia will not see this snow view!
But do have sand, beach and hot sun.hehe...

Nice Pictures, Thanks for sharing that. I am glad I live in Anaheim Ca. we never get snow.

I wouldn't say NEVER!!! I always hear once or twice during the winter time how california gets a snowfall and the whole state gets shut down because of it hehehe

No winter tires FTL

I love the snow ... as long as I'm close enough to my front door to run in and get warm when I need to :)

We got about that much. No pictures though...

I think you might reconsider your statement if you had to drive in this crap lol!!! but it is definitely beautiful thats for sure!!

Oh Wow! I wish it snowed where I live :(

Same here.. ITs summer throughout for me..

Looks quite amazing. It's summer where I am so no snow for me! It just feels good not having to commute.

woo, lots of snow there, i am feeling cold :D

nice pictures.

Funny you say that, because Vancouver is actually considered one of the "warmer" places in Canada.

Lol you're right huh.. you can actually feel it looking at those pictures..

Yea, we got a load of snow in the Maritimes as well.

Sally is very cute btw. I love her snowman!

Yea we got a huge dumping of snow here in Ontario too!! another 10 cms on the way for tonite!!!

LOL- centimeters. You Canucks are a lot of fun. Reminds me of Bob and Doug McKenzie talking about metric beers.

I actually prefer the snow truck myself.
