Every now and then we meet locals or long-time imports that will claim that Vancouver is just as cold as anywhere else in Canada because its a wet cold. These people are also delusional, wimps or bold faced liars. We took a walk on Christmas morning through Stanley Park and while there was indeed a light coating of frost on the grass, it quickly gave way as the sun rose and there were many little woodland creatures to be seen (as previously detailed).
On Christmas Eve we took our annual bike ride (because as Winnipegers we derive a sick delight from the notion of being able to bike ride in December) to look at Christmas Lights. The largest and fanciest concentration of these lights was found in Stanley Park where the firefighters have an annual display.
And rounding out our white-ish Christmas, we had incredibly thick fog on Christmas Eve that filled up most of downtown for the entire day and obscured vision more than a few blocks. The shot below is from our balcony and anyone who has visited and knows how far we can typically see will recognize the nearly obscured building a block or two over.
