It's Monday, December 5, 2016, and Vancouver has SNOW!

I woke up this morning and couldn't believe what I was seeing outside. I haven't seen a proper snowfall like this in years. I don't even have proper winter boots anymore — I'm walking around outside in regular shoes trying not to wipe out while documenting it.

Just yesterday I was talking about Vancouver's mild winter weather, sunshine, rain and how rarely we seem to get snow. Now look at this!

The cold weather has arrived and the roads are already becoming a problem. I'm hearing reports on the radio about accidents around the city, and one of the problems with Vancouver is that a lot of drivers and vehicles simply aren't prepared for snow. We normally deal with rain, not this.

I already brought my son outside to experience it, but within about 15 minutes he was completely soaked and we had to head back inside. Still, I'm in great spirits because this is something I almost never get to see here.

Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow!

I'm documenting this partly because somebody watching this years from now might find it interesting to see what Vancouver weather looked like on December 5, 2016.

If you're anywhere in the Lower Mainland — or elsewhere in Canada or the United States — let me know what the weather is doing where you are. Are you getting hit by this cold weather too? Did you make it to work today? How are the roads?

Thanks for watching, guys. Don't forget to subscribe!
