Hi Jason
I was born in Smithers in 1949. We were a Telkwa family at Tyee Lake.
My mother has Alzeimers and is in a home in Summerland, so I know what you went through.
Has your family been in Smithers for a long time?

Well I have lived here all my life (all 23 years of it). My dad's family moved here in 1972 and my Mom's family moved here a year later. My dad's family was originaly in Kitwanga and my Mom's family came from New Westminister.

 

Signs of spring are present here, but it must be atleast 2 weeks behind normal. Thants ok, it just extends the sledding season

 

Thanks Jason, we left for Terrace in 1960.
Spring here in White Rock is also behind a couple of weeks. Quite chilly. (for White Rock)

You're in White Rock, Bob?

I lived there for a few years, but now I'm in Cloverdale.

I really wish the weather would turn around soon. I was in shorts yesterday.

 

My wife and I went to the flea market in Cloverdale yesterday and it was very nice. Today is cool. When are we to see the benefit of Global Warming?
I'm in the Prace Arch RV park. Its like living in the country.

My dad had his business in White Rock for many years. He used to do demolition derby and sometimes in Cloverdale.

As for grandfathers I had 3. Two I was never really old enough to know before they died. My dad was forestry accident and died shortly before I was 3 and I guess his dad took me under his wing so to speak. He lived to almost 95 yrs old. He was still driving and riding his bike. He even has a pavillion named after him somewhere in Abbotsford.

 

Thank you guys for sharing.

No spring here in Wyoming. Its been really cold here and the wood stove is going, gotta love wood stoves.

Jason I understand about Hep C, my daughter has it. She made some very bad choices with guys. But gave me one heck of a grandson and in June she is suppose to give me a granddaughter.

 

Well it's kind of a middle of the road day here. Cloudy and cool. At least no rain or snow.................................yet.

Think I may spend some time cleaning up the 5th wheel today or tomorrow.

 

Its just your ordiniary nice snowy cold winter day here in WL!

 

Isn't the Puddle awlays freezing and snowing?
I joke, seams like everytime I go through there, I find either a blizzard or scorching heat.

 

Can anyone tell me what I did so bad on this forum they revoked my ability to start a thread?

I tried twice, and it told me I am not allowed to start any threads.

 

I find it often windy and cold there.

Once you acclimatize to Loops heat, everything else seems cold I guess.

 

I don't know, Kamloops can feel pretty cold durring the winter, mostly because of the 80km/hr winds. Without the windchill, it gets colder up here, but the "feels like" factor evens things up an awfull lot.

 

I love hearing that.
