Some Winter Tips

The forecast is for more snow, warming, cold again, etc. 

If you haven’t done so already, knock the snow off your plastic shelters before the snow gets too heavy and wet.  Knock any icicles off your gutters so the weight doesn’t bring them down. 

Trees and branches heavy with wet snow can crack off, so be careful where you park or when out in the woods. 

Be safe, and remember summer is coming.

Rick Gregerson

Our own Rick Gregerson sailed off into uncharted waters Wednesday morning.
He was comfortable and peaceful in Chemainus by the sea that he loved.
I know that Rick wished us all well. Godspeed to an unfailing loyal friend.
