It was late coming, but in the past 24 hours we got 50 cm of snow in Armstrong. Should make for a fun Christmas run. I was out playing this morning in the powder snow and it plugged up the heater in the series truck. Hmmm, back in the shop to thaw things out, I guess.

Any chance for some pictures Dave? I know I was really hoping for a good dump here the other night, but again, nothing. On a side note, I was all ticked off about being forced to go out shoping last night until I got a parking spot next to one of the coolest 110's I've seen around here. I Know it's a club member's, but I've forgotten his name. Olive drab, 3 door, sliders, winch, snorkel, BFG M/T's. Parked outside Willowbrook mall. Made my night of shopping!

We got some out here in Tsawwassen; maybe 10 cm. I was out at the airport picking up a buddy of mine who had just come back from four years in Japan from the airport, and Richmond got quite the dump. We spent the better part of four hours driving around in it.

we got around a foot of snow here in Cumberland. great day for a drive. Now that i am back into rovers with the 95 RRC LWB. between that and the VW/Bombardier Iltis its tons of fun driving around here.
anyone up for a drive? who else lives up this way anyways, courtenay comox... it would be fun to have a north island run.

I thought Ashcroft was the driest place in the province? I think you've been tricked.

-28 here this morning. Funny, the truck temp gauge said 50 when I got in :wink:

I'm kind of jealous of Dave. Mine aren't exactly action photos.

The last one isn't mine, just an action shot. I think the guy lives about 25 miles west of here but I've never met him. What action you ask? After I took the photo some one pushed it a bit farther and she was on her side. No! Not me, and I wasn't there or I would have been in jail for assault.
