That's the score on last week's battle. If you haven't heard, you must live in the desert or small-town Ontario or something, as many as 1000 trees in our beloved Stanley Park were wiped out by 120 km/hr wind blasts last week.

Seriously check out this webcam, it's still snapshots but it's live. It updates every 5 or 10 minutes.
And go to Jennifer's Vancouver, a good friend of mine, Jennifer Jones, has tons of beautiful mountain photos.
Last week people were fighting over bottled water, this week it's snow tires. What's next? I'm not sure but I think Vancouver might fall into the ocean ane we'll be fighting over kayaks or something.
Meanwhile our backyard is filling up with snow, it's so beautiful, I love it. But no one loves it more than Bubba.
I'm worried about the new evergreen Magnolia we planted at the end of October. We checked it every hour on Sunday and we shook the snow off every 2 or 3 hours. I keep thinking the branches are getting too heavy with snow and they're going to break off. I can't believe it's holding up as well as it is.
Since I wasn't able to get out and take my own pics of the mountains today I found some photos other people have taken. Click on the links below to see them.

Check out this cool movie of the fog rolling in and out of English Bay in September, this is part of bigger site, Kat Kam. HINT: right-click on the photo and select "Play" to start the movie. I like to look at Kat Kam every once in a while, especially at sunset time, today was 5:22 PST.
I found the link on a Vancouver Webcams website. HINT: scroll down to Kat Kams to see a live view of English Bay. It's a beauty!
