Unseasonably Warm Weather

This year, in the Vancouver area, it's been rather warm for January and February. For me this is a good thing as we don't have a furnace and have single paned windows. For the 2010 Winter Olympics in Vancouver - it hasn't been so good. I saw on the news last night that they've been trucking in snow from Manning Park! Can you believe that? Dumptrucks full of snow driving about 3 hours to deliver snow to Cypress Mountain (behind North Vancouver) and they've had to cancel some of the spectator events because of the mud.

Tickets for the Olympics went on sale last year and are very costly. Many people have been waiting anxiously to be part of the Olympics and suddenly their even has been cancelled? Ouch. If I was a sports fan and really wanted to go - I think I might just put up with some mud so I can watch this 'historic' event.

I'm curious - what would you do?
