Hmmm, think I will cancel my road trip to the region grin

They had no snow a few weeks back, apparently because Europe was getting it all (something to do with winds), looks like everywhere but Vancouver is getting pounded now…

Looking at PisteHors there have been about 30 deaths in Italy, Austria (another one today, French guy) and France over the last few days. Really scary. shock
