The real Vancouver Weather Network
There is something i like in Vancouver, it's the weather network. I used to check at the weather either online or on the TV, but i've found it depressing. Especially in the wintertime, when they announce 15 days of rain or so.
So i've been living, for the last 2 years, without really knowing what would be the weather next day.
Last monday, a friend of mine announced me the snow will come to town on friday, late evening. Cool.
Friday morning, by 10, the heavy rain became snowflakes...
By noon, it was too warm for snow and the heavy fu*** rain was back.
Late evening, the rain stopped and the sky was almost bright.
The weather channel was announcing a beautiful sunny week-end... Nice, i have to do some X-mas shopping.
Saturday, somewhere between 9 and 12, we had actually a nice blue sky.... By 1pm, the sky was not blue anymore and it got pretty chilly.
At 8pm, i was downtown, heading to my friend Murielle's for a girls little diner, and maybe dancing, who knows.
At 9, it started snowing.
At 10, the streets were white and quite.
At 11, there was about 5-7 cm of fresh snow everywhere.
At 11:30, we eventually decided to make our way to the Celebrities. 3 girls who leather boots and heels. Fortunately, Murielle lives like 3 blocks away from the Celeb'.
At 1:30, i decided to go home, and was a bit worried about how things would turn out. A bus was stucked in the middle of Davie Street, i knew it would be a pain in the ass to get home.
I waited for a bus, and then walked a bit towards the next bus line. After 10 more minutes, i started to look for a cab. Nothing, rien, que dalle.
I finally found one, opened the door, freezing, and said :
- Thanks God ! It's crazy ! I'm going to Kits..... You accept credit card, right ?
- No only cash.
- (F** F** F** je suis tombee sur le SEUL taxi qui prend pas les cartes de credit). Oh, i don't think i will have enough cash... let me check.
Meanwhile, the taxi driver had stopped, opened the window and asked a couple if they needed a ride. They said yes and i just had the time to jump out. God damn it.
I was back at the beginning, and a bit pissed out.
A bus finally showed up.
Right before 24 people got into it, the bus driver stopped us... A girl had just puked in the bus.
Beautiful.
Everybody got into the bus by the back door, so did i, too happy to 1-have a ride home, 2- for free !. People were waiting for a god damn bus forever, and of course, it was a big mess.
