My Actifit Report Card: January 19 2024 - Meet Mr. Snowmen

[日本語は後半にあります]

It is very difficult to walk on snow-covered streets.

We had about 40 centimeters of snow 2 days ago. The rain from last night melted some of it, but the streets and sidewalks are covered with snow except for the main streets. It’s sad to say that Vancouver is not prepared for snow every winter.

Schools, including universities, were closed for two days. Well, maybe this is one of the ways to deal with snow. The fact that students did not travel meant that there was less stress on the transportation system, and they must have received fewer complaints. And the children were very happy to have the day off from school. I was already scheduled off work for these two days but I think many people took time off work. I spent the two days thinking that it would be better to take it easy and try not to get in the way of emergency vehicles and medical personnel who are preparing for emergencies.

Today, Friday, the children went to school. They probably went to school playing in the snow, arrived late, coming home playing in the snow, with their shoes and coats soaking wet😅

It took me 40 minutes this morning to walk a distance that takes me 35 minutes on average. Fortunately (or not?), the bus to work was running late so I made it to the bus.

These photos were taken while I was off from work.

My usual walking course was full of snowmen of various styles.

Some people were so creative making these snowmen. I had fun visiting them.

雪道を歩くのは大変ですね。

２日前に積もった雪は40センチくらいかな…昨夜からの雨で少し溶けましたが、大通り以外は道路も歩道もびちゃびちゃ雪に覆われています。お恥ずかしい話、バンクーバーはいつになっても雪対策が出来ていません。

大学などを含め、学校は2日間お休みでした。まあ、これも雪対策のうちと言えばそうなのかもしれません。学生が移動しなかった分、交通機関に負担がかからなかったわけですし、苦情も少なかった？子供達は学校が休みで大喜びでしたしね。私はタイミングよく仕事が休みでしたが、仕事を休む人も多かったと思います。こんな時は無理をしないで、緊急時の車両や緊急時に備える医療関係の人達の邪魔にならないよう心掛けるのが良いのかな…なんて思いながら過ごした二日間でした。

本日金曜日、子供達は学校に行きました。おそらく雪で遊びながら通学、遅刻、遊びながら帰宅、靴もコートもびしょ濡れだと思います😅

私は今朝、平均35分で歩ける距離を歩くのに40分かかってしまいました。幸い (なのか？) 通勤バスも遅れていて、バスには間に合いました。

写真はお休みだった間に撮った写真です。

いつもの散歩コースは様々なスタイルの雪だるまでいっぱいでした。誰が作ったんでしょうね。ユニークな雪だるまに癒されました。
