Praying For No Rain

Ok, had a great time in Whis last night with the Oaktown fam. However, the drive up, coupled with this, is admittedly concerning. Usually at this time of the year, Highway 99 up to the twin peaks, is pretty picturesque, "snow falling on sitka", something out of Group Of 7 painting...you get the idea.

This year however, it's looking more like the QEW in March. Dirty piles and patches of snow off to the side of the road. Hell VANOC might even have a better go of things if they moved some of the events to Blue Mountain. Concerning.

We hit the trail back to town early this morning, and low and behold, it looked like the Olympic Gods themselves decided to quit meddling in the affairs of men. A light dusting was coming down over the town as we jettisoned from the parking lot. However, not more than 10 K out of town and all that precipitation had transmuted into rain. By the time we hit Squampty Dampty, for coffee, it was back to buckets.

Yikes.

So what can a guy do but petition The Pantheon for a deep freeze? They seem to take care of the Winter Classic year in year out. Hopefully they'll see fit to hand us an Olympic OT storybook scene.
