Lakumi Posted March 2, 2014 Report Share Posted March 2, 2014 I don't think they'd ever cancel church in Canada for reasons of cold or snow Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beefche Posted March 2, 2014 Report Share Posted March 2, 2014 Ditto to your weather, Pale. Church was cancelled for us for the 3rd time this year (once was a tri-stake cancellation). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dahlia Posted March 2, 2014 Report Share Posted March 2, 2014 I didn't get a call that they cancelled church, but last night we had snow and the streets aren't all plowed yet. I didn't go in. It is 0.5 °F and Feels Like -8 °F. 18 degrees would be a heat wave. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sharky Posted March 2, 2014 Report Share Posted March 2, 2014 Our ward gets several "strong suggestions" every winter (usually 1 or more is actually by the Stake President) about exercising caution & foregoing meetings if we do not feel comfortable with the weather conditions or do not feel we can make the trek safely.It is very rare that church is cancelled here, though when the weather is such that major road closures are in place or are likely, they do cancel meetings simply because many of ward members would not be able to get back home without the highways & state roads.We did have a Stake Conference one year that many members of my ward got held up at the usual place that they close the roads ... most were allowed to continued on because they had something that showed they do in fact live out here. However, the family the Missionaries had ridden with were new (less then 2 weeks in the state) & no one had anything to show they lived out here. Luckily the State Trooper manning the road block happened to be LDS & he believed their story & let them thru. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sharky Posted March 2, 2014 Report Share Posted March 2, 2014 Just remembered ... we did have meetings cancelled/let out early (like right after the Sacrament was passed) because the pump in the well had gone out & there was absolutely no water in the building.Another time they cancelled meetings & all activities during the week because a test & a 2nd test of the well water were both positive for high amounts of e-coli & coliform.I as well recall one week where we all took shelter in the hallways due to funnel clouds in the area.

Iggy Posted March 3, 2014 Report Share Posted March 3, 2014 53 degrees, 100% precipitation, winds at 28 mph.The winds are GUSTS- coming from the east and blowing sideways towards the ocean. The low for tonight is 50 degrees. No let up on the winds until after Wednesday. Great, the garbage & recycling bins are going to be blown all over creation!! I have mine bungee- corded to the back porch railing. I won't have enough to fill them until the following week. I pay for weekly pickup- because they don't have once a month pickup. Go figure! At least the stray cats in the neighborhood are in hiding and not added more poo to my flower pots outside. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AngelMarvel Posted March 3, 2014 Report Share Posted March 3, 2014 It is 53 F right now at 5:44PM. Was beautiful today... a cloudy, but nice. We had the front door opened for a while. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maureen Posted March 3, 2014 Report Share Posted March 3, 2014 Here March has come in like a lion (very cold). We've had quite a bit of wind making wind chills in the -30C range. But I doubt any church services were cancelled anywhere, LDS or non-LDS.M. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mnn727 Posted March 3, 2014 Report Share Posted March 3, 2014 I cancelled my families Church yesterday, it was sleeting when I went out to warm up the car and the whole thing was covered with a thin layer of ice with more sleet coming down. I asked DW to come to the door and we made a family decision togetherNo one official called to call it off, so I assume it was held but to me my families safety comes first.Could we have made it? probably, but as hard as it was coming down my feeling was better safe than sorry, we held our own Gospel time.
