I spent the afternoon boarding and there was actual powder on the hill. It's been snowing here all day long. The drive took over twice as long getting back home because of actual white-out. It's awesome!

Anyone else getting swamped?

Can you email me some of that? I am in Australia in 30+ degrees temp and about 114% humidity. The ice cold beer runs down my throat and straight out through the pores in my skin!

Next Christmas I will certainly escape this heat and spend my holiday in cooool Korea.

It was over 40 degrees here in southwest Sydney yesterday. A Korean winter is mightily appealing right now, I must say. Less than a week to go!

It's the morning after and everything is white! The most snow I've seen here in four years, 15-20cm.

I'd take 40 degrees over 20 cm of snow and -30 any day! Goodbye Canada!!

I've only ever seen snow once in my life and that was in Korea back in 2004. It didn't even stay on the ground, but it was exciting enough! The thought of 20cm of snow is as exotic to me as sitting in some beduin camp eating a cooked sheep's head.

Let me see, 20 cm = how many inches? Okay, 20/2.5 or 20 X 2.5? Okay, carry the 2, multiply by PI, and we end up with 8 inches?

Where do you live that you got 8 inches of snow?

I live in Byeongjeom and we have about 8 inches of snow. Its still snowing. I love it. I'm originally from Chicago and seeing snow is nicer than it raining like it has done most of the winter.

OBVIOUSLY it's easier to say that if you did your mandatory pre-snowstorm panic trip to the grocery store. Laughing

Huge "blizzard" in Suwon last night (bare in mind, I'm from South Africa, so I use the term blizzard a bit more loosely than say, a Canadian). Heaviest snow I've ever seen, must have ended up with 15-20cm of snow!
