We got socked over the weekend\u2026<\/span><\/p>\n

Victoria got a fair amount of snow\u2026<\/span><\/p>\n

But I happened to be at a weekend getaway with a bunch of friends in a place called Cedar outside Nanaimo….there was 16 inches on the deck at the back of the house by yesterday morning first thing\u2026and by the time it stopped snowing yesterday in the late afternoon they were saying 26 inches…and it was colder n a witch’s teat!<\/span><\/p>\n

Vancouver Island simply doesn\u2019t have the winter plans that NW ON does.<\/span><\/p>\n

that’s the LadyBug along with the ” red go fast car” that belongs to Louie…buried!<\/span>
\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

So we stayed longer\u2026an extra day\u2026.yesterday my buddy Ed spent an hour digging my car out after the snow…sorta….then this morning it took myself and Snoozie half an hour of shoveling and pushing, a little laughter and a whole lot of swearing to get my little car to the road\u2026the normally 15 minute trip from their road to the highway at Nanaimo took close to an hour\u2026and the hour and 20 minute trip from Nanaimo to Victoria and then to my village took close to 3 hours….and that’s not counting the time I spent pulled over calming myself down on the side of the road…Gawd there are some really really bad drivers out there!<\/span><\/p>\n

I\u2019ve never before been that afraid of driving in winter. My little red car thinks it\u2019s a buoy\u2026bobbing around when the wind hits it or sliding over the ice like it\u2019s on skates\u2026sheesh!<\/span><\/p>\n

I am reminded of the blister’s Honda civic when I say this\u2026but the car formerly known as \u201cthe ladybug\u201d will henceforth be known as \u201cthat piece of shit get stuck everywhere\u201d car.<\/span><\/p>\n

I love my little car all the rest of the time\u2026but full on winter\u2026not so much.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
