November was a very interesting for millions of residents in Vancouver’s lower mainland. We had wind storms, tons of rain, and a very unusual snowfall. In a city where palm trees and tropical plants, thrive, snow is not something we see too often unless we are on the mountains. The 30 – 50 cm’s of snow was the icing on the cake. During the early wind storms, millions of people lost power due to down power lines. I for one, had no power for 6 days! All the rain created a boil water advisory for many Vancouver residents which lasted a couple of weeks. After that, SNOW….and lots of it. The homeless in Vancouver had to deal with temperatures as low as -20 degrees celcius (Wind Chill). Finally the snow is melting! The nice thing is, the ski resorts and snow shoeing activities have comer early!
