It usually doesn’t look like this.
The fact of the matter is, despite the global perspective about our country (that it’s the “frozen north”; that it’s the source of storms dumping snow on the U.S.; that we have 8 months of winter, blah blah), Vancouver very seldom actuallly looks like this. Oh, sure, it snows once a year, usually. Sometimes it snows twice a year. But you usually can’t get a picture like this because many snowfalls are followed by rain (and rain and more rain) or the bright sun that might follow a snowfall doesn’t last long enough to get a picture like this.
So, here’s a picture to contribute to the myth. What can I say.
