Snow On Vancouver Island


I'm sorry to announce, that it has snowed about a foot (give or take, depending on the area) in Nanaimo.

Luckily, the weather forecast predicts it will clear today - it was still snowing at 5am this morning.


Let's hope I'm not stranded indoors for 3 days again.

Yuck.

Am down in Duncan. We got about two to three centimetres. Don't know when the snowing stopped, but when I looked out the window at 4:30 a.m., snow was on the ground but none was falling from the sky.

My one consolation: this was likely Winter's last hurrah, at least for down here.

@Chrystal - I hope you're right on the last hurrah of the winter. I like snow, but in moderation!

@CMA - Snow is definitely reserved for the hills, the more the better! Happy boarding :)

Occupy Nanaimo, Vancouver Island

Image
We were going to attend the Occupy Victoria rally, but decided we would save some time (and gas money!) and attend a local rally. Throughout this whole lead up to the Occupy protests I have heard a lot of negativity, "It's silly to think you guys are going to change anything" "It's dumb and a waste of time" "What is the point?". I am reminded of this lovely quote. Great spirits have always found violent opposition from mediocrities. The latter cannot understand it when a man does not thoughtlessly submit to hereditary prejudices, but honestly and courageously uses his intelligence and fulfills the duty to express the results of his thought in clear form.

   I usually stay away from heavy political discussions and rhetoric in regards to this blog but since I read the original letter last night, I tossed and turned, my brain in overdrive, trying to figure out why another human being (that shares the same air, earth and living space with everyone else) would go out of their way to write such an unusually ignorant and uneducated letter. Yes people, we all have opinions and we are free to share these opinions, but really, why would a respectful newspaper publish this? Before I continue here is the article (link to the original article has now been pulled):             Though it seems like a "letter to the editor" one can only assume by the title under the heading "Don Olsen, The Daily News" he is affiliated with Nanaimo Daily News .                To make matters worse this is not the first time this man has written letters to the paper: Pro-Pipeline Nanaimo News Bulletin Article .
