through the eyes of the a70

It was quite a cold day. After staying indoors the entire morning and deciding with Alex whether or not to head out or not, I decided I couldn’t waste the entire day rotting at home! Usually after a snowy day I usually head out to the nearest neighbouring park, Queen Elizabeth, but it was pretty much the same scene. After lunch, me and my dad decides the camera comes out, and Jericho, here we come! As we got nearer, the sun shone through the clouds and lit up the mountain slopes, perfect timing I must say!

The day after Vancouver’s first snow of the season, the mountains to the north were covered in a white blank of snow. Spectacular!

I took lots of photos so didn’t really post-process so here are most of the photos (click read more)!

It might be the first snow to fall in Vancouver, but it certainly caught everyone off-guard! Vancouverites are generally not well prepared… and the city hasn’t had time to salt or snowplow the roads…
Weather warning calls for 5-10cm of snow, we might be getting more of it by tomorrow!

Granville street was a zoo, buses parked on the side, cars (mainly rear wheel drives) battling uphill, but in the middle of all this, people still stepped out of their cars to help each other push others’ cars. Took us nearly an hour to go what would usually take us 10 minutes by car. Thank goodness Frank had snow tires on :-)

Wherever you’re heading, be safe! (or stay home!)
