A Sight to Behold: Snowstorm in Vancouver!

This is so unusual I had to take a photo of Beach Avenue. It's chaos in the Lower Mainland today. It's times like this I am ever so glad that I work from home. No bundling up! No commuting!

People are stranded all over the place, though. It's chaos because hardly anyone has snow tires, and even if they do, unless they just moved here from some other part of the country, they don't know how to drive in snow. Vancouver has probably next to no budget for snowplowing, and by the time the snowplows do arrive, you have an unholy mess of cars and buses and other vehicles thrown together like Lego pieces.
