Snow Alert

Snow in Vancouver. Never a good idea.

It is a little strange, Vancouver is a city of immigrants, not many of us born here and fewer still with ancestors from here. Lots of us from away who have never seen snow until they got here but there are just tons of people who have fled here from parts of Canada, the US and Europe because we only get one, maybe two significant snow falls in a year. So why is it that no one can drive in the snow (or shovel driveways and sidewalks)?

In any case, the best road report I heard was that someone counted 50 buses jammed up heading north on Granville Street behind a couple of buses that first, couldn't get past the hill at 16th Avenue and then ran into each other blocking traffic quite effectively (now is that an exaggeration?? who knows).

I'm about to head out to go downtown and I will report back if anything of interest happens.
