Oh my goodness, I can't even believe our luck here on the west coast! I hate to say it, because I know how the rest of the country has been in the deep freeze, but we have not even had snow here! Ahhh, who am I kidding, the rest of Canada is known to make fun of us about our 'wet coast' rain, so it's our turn! I mean, we had slush one day I think, but then it was gone! A typical Vancouver winter consists of lots of precipitation, most often of the liquid form. Thankfully we have mountains where Vancouverites know they can normally escape to in the winter because we all know when it's typically raining in the city, it's snowing in the mountains. Oh, but this year has been above seasonal with record breaking high temps, and even the mountains lack the white stuff! Not a word of a lie, I wore my flip flops every month here on the west coast of BC this year.
