Axiom Home Page Forums General Discussion The Water Cooler Vancouver

Watching those cross country skiiers laboring in the 52 degree weather?? They didn't look cold?

This winter has been the warmest in 100 years, it has not really gone below freezing really at all and daytime highs are in the 50 - 55 range. It snowed one day but was gone the next. Normally it'll get below freezing at night and stay in the low 40's during the day for at least a couple months of the year anyway. Rule of thumb here is that if it's raining, it's warm, and if it's sunny, it's colder.

I actually cut my lawn last weekend. Where I live (Tsawwassen) the afternoon temperatures were close to 60 degrees. Not bad for February however if this keeps up my gardening program this year will be a long drawn out affair

Well not to worry fellas ... we're having one of the coldest winters I can ever remember down here in south Florida, and just finally whenever the the temperature looked like it was reaching the normal mid to high 70s(F) for the past couple of days it's supposed to be down into the low to mid 30s again tonight with freeze warnings. Unreal.

I'd thought about moving south and learning a new language if this keeps up but maybe moving north might be a better option for the warmer temperatures I need to live ... Vancouver looks interesting and beautiful.

I did a job for an old lady in Langley, it was on an acreage, around 200th St and 30th ave. Big corner acreage they bought the place 25 years ago then, it would be like 30 years now. Well anyways she was offered 6 million for ther place and she told me she wasnt selling because he was an east indian.

I haven't been there in too many years, but I have visited Vancouver several times. I always thought it was glorious and magical. The parks and museums are some of the finest I've seen, and the cultural diversity is just wonderful. I can't think of any other "new" cities that offer a richer experience.

I keep threatening to drag my family up there, but none of us have current passports at the moment.

Tom y'all can't be too terribly far from Vancouver, right? Actually your geographical area is another I've always wanted to visit, had the opportunity to work in Seattle several years ago and didn't do it, wish now that I would have.

Tacoma is only a couple hours south, not including a border wait.

I don't think you need a passport to drive across Tom, just one of those fancy new Drivers Licences. To fly though you need the passport.

Same kind of terrain in WA and BC, Rick. Vancouver is just so much more international and cosmopolitan than even Seattle. But yeah, the Pacific Northwest/Provinces are lovely. You should come visit. There's more big stuff on the edge of the salt water up here

My wife is like Mel Gibson in Conspiracy Theory, so even an enhanced license just pisses her off.

Oh I forgot to say they only paid 100k
