We left Thursday night, to get a jump on the 10-12 hour drive. No one likes to spend ALL day travelling. Well, i don't.
When we hit Clinton, it started to snow. It snowed and snowed until just before Quesnel, and then it was really nice, and then i was really tired so we stopped and slept at a rest stop.
We woke up and it was snowing, and we left. We hit Prince George and it was again quite nice. We got to Tumbler Ridge just before 10:30 am on Friday.
Friday afternoon it started to snow. Just a little at first, and then the full on blizzard.
This picture was taken Saturday morning at about 10:30am:
As you can see, we've got about 2 feet of snow in less than 24 hours. It still hasn't stopped, though it was forecasted to stop today. That large white object in the middle of the screen is our car...
Needless to say, we are a little choked. We're not sure what's going to happen. We were supposed to be leaving here Monday, but apparently the Pine Pass is closed, which is pretty much the only way out of here.
On the plus side, Dewie is having a blast! He loves running around chasing snowballs when we're shovelling or biting my dad's boots when he's walking. We throw him in the middle of the yard and he burrows himself out. It's awesome.
So we're supposed to be back monday, to work tuesday...but who knows if that is going to happen. Pray for a heat wave i guess.

Good luck on the heat wave. Travel home safely. There is a little something waiting for you in the doorway (wedged in).
Did you get snow tires yet???
no, we live in Kamloops, we don't need snow tires
Don't speak too soon guys! Snow is on it's way....I am sending it to you just because you think you are special living in Kamloops! Hahahahahahahaha
You might not need snow tires but you need something better than the slicks you had on when you were here!!!!!!
