Wednesday I flew from Powell River to Vancouver. The flight was delayed about two hours because of a snow storm moving through Coastal BC.
The pilots of Pacific Coastal Airlines are used to the varied flying conditions in our area. Their experiences gives me confidence in flying in all sorts of weather.

Cabins float in a cut-off fjord of British Columbia’s south coast. One man tackles an on-going dream to construct a floating cabin on Powell Lake, from the water up – not his first, but his finest. Read Cabin Number 5 by Wayne J. Lutz and experience it for yourself.
Do you have a Kindle or E-reader?

Nice video - the bit at the end, of the South Terminal, especially says it all about the weather.
Thanks Paul - I love those old boxcar airplanes. Don't see those very often in Powell River any more. Do you watch YouTube videos by niceprguy2? He has some nice Pacific Coastal shots. - Margy
I will be scared ^_^

Not sure I would have wanted to be flying that day!
pack my bags! It means travel to fly. And I love travels.
Loved the video, perfect for Sky Watch.
Love the video. Nice planes to fly in. Used it once before, hope to do so again soon. So quick. Thanks for stopping by.
Great post! We're used to all sorts of flying conditions in Montreal as well. About a month ago my boyfriend landed in freezing rain and was delayed by about a half hour because the airport was only running one runway at a time. They would use it until the pilots reported 'low breaking action' aka: too much ice and then switch them over to another runway they had just de-iced while they cleared off another. It takes a lot to close down an airport in Canada :oJ
MUCH nicer than the plane that flies from Medicine Hat to Calgary (at an enormous cost now, too). We also have one passenger on either side, but the seats are old, narrow and uncomfortable. Looks like you don't have much more headroom than we do, though. LOL

Nice ride! I like sitting over the wing. :) Seems like a lot of snowplows for so little snow, though.
