.... of a day here in SW BC after one of the few significant snowfalls we'll get all Winter. It was an absolute nightmare yesterday commuting home to the "back country" region of the Lower Mainland from my office in Burnaby, trying to dodge all those pretentious city folks who refuse to put Winter tires on their fancy BMW's, Lexus's and Mercedes thinking they can get through the odd snowfall we get here. The oft used cliche about all Canadians being hardy Winter folk definitely does not apply to Vancouver-ites.... a real bunch of wimps.... in particular when it comes to driving in snow. All the jokes our fellow Canadians across the country make about Vancouver drivers when it comes to Winter are 100% justified.
Always a bright side to everything though, such as the view from Burnaby Mtn park which is 5 minutes from my office, on a clear Sunny day after a snowfall...

That's Vancouver off in the distance....from atop Burnaby Mtn.
