Prince George is our closest urban center. It is 135 miles (220 kms) away, but we have to periodically drive up there in the winter for appointments and shopping. Once we get up there, I am usually surprised at how much snow they get. McBride is located smack-dab in the mountains and so everyone figures that we get a lot of snow, and we do, but surprisingly, not as much as Prince George, which is located on a plateau, not in the mountains;
During the winter all of the store parking lots start to shrink as the parking lots are plowed and the snow is stacked in high piles at the edges of the parking lots, and those snow piles start taking up more and more parking lot space as the winter progresses. The parking lot in the photo has probably shrunk to half its size, due to the snow piles. The piles are 10 feet (3 meters) high and like mountain ranges stretch out, along the edges of the parking lots.
