They are. There was a report on the news last night of two off duty police officers from a little place called Oliver. They were caught in one. One died and they can't find his body but the other was saved. He's in hospital.
They had all the right equipment with them and had all the back country training but still got caught. The survivor was wearing a beacon that went off but he was slammed into a tree by the snow. One of his arms was out of the snow which is how search and rescue found him.
Oliver only has 10,000 residents and small local police force.

Not according to local weather people. This next river heading California's way is going to clip BC and bring the rain starting tonight into tomorrow and through the weekend.

Meh... At least right now, I'm not seeing anything too bad on the reports near me. It only feels cold today at 41 degrees because I was down by my brother's yesterday and the high was 56 degrees. Got a few days with the highs in the 30's but like 5 days in the 40's after that. Followed by some pretty normal cold temps for these parts this time of year.
After what we went through Christmas to New Year's week, I don't see anything at all in the rest of the winter reports that look even mildly concerning.
But now I've jinxed it, haven't I?
BTW... I had my thermostat set to 45 degrees for the last 3 days while I was gone, and I'm fairly confident it didn't even go off in between that time.
Not that I ever actually look forward to getting any bills, but it's going to be really interesting to see how well I did this month about a week from now, and even more interesting when I get the energy efficiency report about 2 weeks after that.
Impossible to guess at this point how much less I paid this month than last January's bill because of the wild fluctuations in Natural Gas, but in Illinois by my family the cost per therm was only about 2/3rds what it was the month before, so it might be possible that it was $50 or more cheaper than my bill last year when I get it.
That's probably not the case, but I'm confident in saying it was at least $20 less than last year, despite the higher prices.

SIX, I got a notice from SoCalGss telling us to expect our gas bill to DOUBLE this month! And I was shocked at our LAST bill!
Well, I refuse to set the thermostat any lower than 67F . I'm still a little anemic and I'm chilly anyway. Hubby OTOH runs hot. Sometimes we have "the battle of the thermostats". 
That chaurleg that I kicked two days ago... I either broke or jammed my baby toe and the one next to it. Black and blue bruises up into my instep. It makes walking oainful. How frustrating!

How much per therm are you paying out there??? I know you say you need it at 67 degrees below, but I'd imagine it would take so few therms to keep it that temperature for you during the winter that the bill wouldn't be that big even it it were a big difference from last year. Am I wrong about that?

LOL... I watched my dad have that battle with my step-mom remotely while I was at my brothers. She was turning the heat up higher than he ever allows it to be (70 degrees) while he was gone, but he can just log in remotely and turn it back down.

Damn... I been there before. Wouldn't be so bad if you didn't have to walk on your feet.
Hoping for a speedy recovery.
