Movember and the apparent chaos snow brings to Victoria

This month, I'm sure most of you know it's Movember, where men grow mustaches to raise awareness for prostate cancer, I decided to attempt to grow one and so far its starting to look pretty decent. I'm not sure if I'm going to keep it for a little longer or just shave it off. I only problem is my hair is blond so it's not too noticeable so I thinking I'll Just For Men it right before I shave it off.
I know it's almost the end of the month but there is still time to donate: http://ca.movember.com/mospace/785230/

So the past couple of days Victoria has a been getting a fair bit of snow (more than usual) but its funny to see how much chaos it brings. Just the other day there was a 14 car pile up on an off ramp and it seemed there was an accident being reported every 30 minutes to go along with schools, buses and pretty much the whole city being shut down. Its seems funny to me as I grew up in Calgary and spent 4 years in Edmonton although I do have to admit it is different in Victoria as there are a lot more hills and the roads are a lot more narrow.

In other news, I'm in the process of getting a new frame after I crack my old bike last month. Until then I'm still riding my trusty cross bike. As for training, things are going well I'm now on week 4 back to training and I've already posted some PBs in 200m and 400m, obviously it helps to swim fast when you're not running or biking hard yet.
