All I can say is that I was relieved. My van is still buried under mounds of snow and I don't have good tires. I was worried about the drive down the hill and back up again. Better safe than sorry. And they're predicting more snow today!!!
That's totally what I remember about growing up in BC! When I moved here and it would snow I would assume that ther'd be no school and people would laugh like I was kidding!!
