This photo was taken from my balcony in New Westminster, BC. The view is east over the north end of the Patullo Bridge.The fireplace has been running on temperature 3 of 4 for the past ten days. It generally doesn't get too cold down here near sea level. I do have to admit I rather enjoy just sitting here close by with my bare feet on the new carpeting. Over the next few days, there's a promise of flurries and perhaps an inch or so of snow. The white stuff sticking around on the ground is a rarity here near sea level. Still, it's nice when it happens as long as one doesn't have to get out and about. The surrounding cities boast very little equipment to clean up the mess when it does stay. Atlhough it's a bit grey, the surrounding mountains are wearing winter garb. Let's hope it remains that way through February when the world comes for a visit at the 2010 Winter Olympics. If you can't make it out here, perhaps I will wave to you on TV. Funny thing is, I don't have tickets to any event ...
