No snow for the Winter Olympics?

No snow for the Winter Olympics?

The Winter Olympics start in four days, but Vancouver, Canada, where the games are scheduled is experiencing a warm spell and there is no snow! They are hauling it in and manufacturing it, and venues up in the mountains should have it. But Vancouver, with its Olympic village and all of that, looks to be brown. See this.

Vancouver, you can have some of ours! Down in Virginia, we have two to three feet on the ground, and tomorrow we are expecting up to 20 inches more! Take it. For free. How many refrigerator trucks could we get in a convoy?

Which raises another question: Are you going to follow the Winter Olympics?
