The Good, the Bad and the Ugly: Vancouver in the snow (PHOTOS/VIDEOS)
Vancouver’s in a daze after a heavy duvet of snow fell overnight. We woke up on Tuesday, December 20, to an additional 24 cm of snow – and it was hard to miss.
Amid transit delays and airport horror stories to fun frolics in a fresh coat of snow, we curated a slice of what Metro Vancouver’s mood is in the snow, from the good and the bad to the ugly:

We do not recommend skiing or snowshoeing on the road, but it’s a clever workaround when buses and cars are stalled all over the streets.
