Don't you just hate it when one of your Christmas presents arrives late?

As I type this inside where it's warm and dry, the weather outside is trying frightfully hard -- to snow.

I know what it looks like from the photo; it looks like it's raining drinking straws -- it isn't. It's snowing, but only above street level, no lower than, let's say three storeys. All that's hitting the street is cold rain.

This morning things could've gone either way weather-wise

Spring is about a month away and we never really received our full serving of winter so one could say that Nature has a bit of a backlog of weather to get through. That could explain how we had an unsettled looking morning then a gorgeous, warm taste of sunny spring days to come, and now, a bit of the winter we were promised over a month ago.

Really though, the only explanation necessary is, "it's Vancouver," where we can have summer in the winter, snow in the summer, rain from a clear blue sky, and anything in between. Click the images to enlarge them.
