Well, Mother Nature cooperated with us, and Amanda was able to drive out today. It has snowed, and the wind was blowing all day, but it wasn't enough to keep Amanda from coming to visit!
That said, the low temperatures and the wind have combined to make it unlikely that we'll do much in the way of taking photos while she's here in Tumbler Ridge. We may head out and try for a couple (I'd really like to take one of us kissing in front of town hall!), but when the wind chill is -32, it's not very conducive to taking photos. We may have to settle for photos where we're kissing through our scarves...
In any case, I'm very happy that the weather cooperated enough for Amanda to visit this weekend, and I'm going to finish up this blog post quickly so I can enjoy the rest of the time I have with her before she leaves tomorrow afternoon.

Waiting on Mother Nature
If Mother Nature cooperates, Amanda will be visiting me in Tumbler Ridge in about 14-15 hours.
That's a pretty big "if." The weather forecast is still calling for 2-4 inches of snow between tonight and tomorrow night. That said, the weather station is in Chetwynd, an hour away, so it could be that Chetwynd will be snowed in and we'll enjoy a fairly nice weekend here.
That's what the optimistic part of my mind tells me. The realistic part reminds me (at every opportunity) that I live in Tumbler Ridge, and that it is January. By all rights, there should be three feet of snow on the ground, snowbanks plowed 4-5 feet high, and I should be considering whether I need to buy a pair of snowshoes.
So tomorrow in all likelihood you'll either be hearing from Cranky Jake, disappointed about missing a weekend with Amanda, or not hearing from me at all, because I'm too busy spending time with Amanda to update the blog. But if the latter does happen, hopefully we'll be taking a bunch of photos with my phone and her new iPhone, and I'll have a bunch of new photos to share of the Kissing Couple of Grande Prairie, as seen in Tumbler Ridge.
