Blizz
Well it has been going all day so far and the snow is really starting to accumulate. It is pretty foggy and windy right now, the snow fall blowing almost completely horizontal at times.
Henry Rd is already a mess, so come prepared for that final climb to Paradise Ridge.
You may notice your voyages in the elevator are brighter now..brighter and more power efficient :) always a good combo, with the replacement of the old fixture. You may as well notice that its a little dimmer walking the breezeway's during the day. Bob, our strata president, and also an electrical contractor, arranged to have unnecessary lights set to timers. This saves on power, and when night falls and the timers kick in, things are fully lit up as usual.
There are new garbage cans on each floor at the elevator landing. I hope people respect them, and realize that they are not to be used as a short cut to taking out the trash, as temptation would surely allow. As well, as a general rule for all trash cans one may find in life; If it doesn't fit through the receptacle, the top should not be removed, and oversized trash should not be jammed inside. ;)
If your not here yet, the storm has beat you...drive safe.

Mid-Feb Flurries
This morning I woke up to snow falling sideways and a couple inches of fresh on the ground. It seems this winter is full of surprises; sun one day, snow the next and rain falling in between...must be BC. However, today is a legitimate winter day. It is nice when the fresh snow falls, disguising the slushy mud that has been flung everywhere by passing vehicles and ploughs, covering over a multitude of sins. More snow has fallen than forecast so far today, and hopefully that trend will continue as a decent amount was projected by this weekend.
It is Thursday, which means people will begin to arrive at Paradise Ridge today in hopes of a great weekend. In fact the weekends during the winter up here seem to start Thursday and end Monday, leaving Tuesday and Wednesday as a kind of respite from the constant activity.
It will be interesting to observe Henry Rd this evening as my home looks out on the steepest part of the hill, right at the corner before our lower driveway. If this weather keeps up, it will no doubt be the centre of some frantic activity. All-seasons spinning, and travellers attempting to chain up for the first time, on a hill, with critics watching and waiting.

Internet
You may wonder why the blog updates have been limited to pictures and very brief updates as of late. I have been doing my updates from my phone as my internet hasn't been functioning very well. After a visit from a Telus agent and a replacement of my prehistoric modem, I am once again "connected".
Things have been busy here at Paradise Ridge. Although the snow has not been falling like it did last year, things like hand soap in the hot tub and plugged toilets have kept me plenty busy. There is always something to be attended to as people file through the doors. And speaking of doors, the front door, which has been a headache recently, is finally operating perfectly...thanks to the persuasion of my Dremel tool.
The pool and hot tub have seen extensive use so far this year. I am always surprised at the amount of
use those two bodies of water get, sometimes even despite ferocious weather.
There has been little fresh snow lately, but these last few days have been beautiful. Fresh skims of snow over formidable ice. This kind of weather is good for goggle tans and injuries. So if you come up soon, don't be too cavalier, because the fluffy stuff on top is only skin deep.
