Snow in Vancouver

There is something to be said for a city that has maybe 2 days a year where snow is visible on the ground. This was not the case for 2008 in Vancouver. When the first snow hit, I told Akis we needed to go out and enjoy the snow as it won't last ~ it would be 2 days and we would be back to the green. Akis was very cute, and often like a 4 year old child when he would run to the window and yell 'Pouste mou ~ look at the snow!'. Yes, there was a lot of it and over the course of the 10 days that it blanketed the city, we managed to see what it was all about.

Our first trip out was on a Sunday and we walked around the neighbourhood after checking out the snow out our back door.

My favourite view and one of the reasons I love living in Vancouver ~ the North Shore mountains.

A week later, the snow was still there and we wandered out to Ali and Brent's place to pick them up for breakfast. The snow had accumulated and we were now looking at almost 20cms and was starting to take out the bamboo behind our place.

The car after sitting out for a couple hours ~ with snow accumulating in the streets, we did experience some problems getting the car into the garage... Akis had to even go out and push!
