A Canadian West Coast Winter.....or.....???????

I've been spending the last couple of days staring with a glaze out the window of my office over looking a substantial green belt and golf course.  I found it interesting, not having lived this close to nature before, that you can watch the seasons change by the minute.  Literally.  The colors, the wildlife, or lack-thereof.  The falling leaves.  It's all about winter.


I have been on the west coast now for years, and it wasn't until the last five, that I really started sensing a shift in the climante.  No, this isn't a blog post about the environment and climate change and who is responsible.  It is about getting frickin' cold and wondering what happened to summer.  Just reached over and grabbed the latest copy of the Old Farmer's Almanac to get a sense of what's in store.  If you are travelling to the west coast for a visit this summer, here's the deal:

"November through March will be colder than normal.  Especially heavy snowfall in the Atlantic Provinces, Alberta and British Columbia."

I am feeling all warm and fuzzy after reading that.  If  you are wondering, visually, what that might look like, I pulled this out of the files.  A Victorian winter.  Yes Virginia, it does snow in the capital city.

I will now curl up in front the fire, and continue planning my Caribbean holiday.  Are you ready for us?  And yes, we'll leave all that white stuff behind.
