21 photos of the first snowfall of 2016 in Metro Vancouver

When you woke up and rolled out of bed on the first official Monday of 2016, you might have noticed a layer of snow covering your Metro Vancouver neighbourhood. Environment Canada is estimating we’ll get at least two centimetres, and whether you’re delighted or annoyed by it, you can’t deny the beauty of pristine, white snow.

Woke up to a light dusting of snow. So pretty when it was coming down. Of course it will all be sludge by 9am. Kind of wish it would last all day. #snowcouver #snow #vancouver #vancitybuzz

Home sweet home! #vancouverisawesome #vancity #snow #winter #canada It was too cold for snow in the Alps, and Europe had spring temperatures, so it’s very refreshing to be back with the chill and the frost and the snow #theresnoplacelikehome A photo posted by @johnniluv on Jan 4, 2016 at 7:06am PST

Woke up to it snowing in Vancouver probably the best feeling ever I hope it does this for my birthday later this week #vancity #burnaby #metrotown
