But it certainly is lovely to be inside the warm apartment, drinking a mug of hot milo. Only thing missing is a fireplace at JH's apartment :p

Snow beating down furiously onto the balcony
Thick blanket of snow, covering the cars and pavements
People braving the snow, walking to where, I do not know. Being stuck in the mountains sucked.
See how fat the snowflakes are?
Skiiers!! (Partially blocked by the shrubs)
Another view of the thick snowfall
Better view of the skiiers. Guess it was as good a time to practice cross country skiing?
At the apartment driveway. Totally covered with snow
Trying to capture a clearer view of the snowflake. It is essentially iced raindrop
Driveway round-about of apartment buildings.
Snow on branches
A friend with an over active imagination said the tree branches looked like a couple in the victorian days where the lady wears those pouffy skirt and the man with top hat
The snow reached up to either middle or 1/3 of my calves. That is how heavy the snowfall was. There were many accidents that weekend, including one suffered by a friend. Thankfully she was ok, just bruised by the airbag. Her car slid across the road (icy roads) and hit another car while making a turn or something. Bumper was damaged which activated the airbag. She could still drive the car home slowly as it was nearby and basically it was quite useless to wait for tow truck or call a friend as everyone was stuck too.
As Vancouver's weather never remained sub-zero for long, the snow melted the next day, causing floods and evacuation of some homes living near the waterfront (Howe Sound area, IIRC) and residents living in Coquitlam was advised not to go out unless necessary as the floods were stalling the cars.
