A tale of the same city.. Both photos in #Vancouver taken 7mins or only 3.5km/2mi away from each other. The diff of little #snow accumulation to a lot more.. ~100m/300ft of elevation gain is all it takes & why forecasting #BCsnow can be so complicated.#BCstorm @weathernetwork pic.twitter.com/EV9lntF2NI
