Visiting from Toronto. Was upset all week that I couldn’t see the mountains. But today was a lucky day.

    Crazy that we're mid December and there's no snow on the North Shore mountains

    Yeah I'm kind of disturbed by how bare the hills look right now both from a water-reservoir perspective as well as from a ski perspective. Hopefully we won't end up with another season with some weak base layers and then heaps of unstable stuff up top.

    You got a rare sunny December day! Usually at this time of year, those mountains are snowy, though 😒

    Mountains aren't visible when it rains, and it rains a lot here

    My father used to say that when you can't see the mountains in Vancouver, that means it's raining; if you can see the mountains, that means it's going to rain. lol

    Head into the mountains or into the North Shore forests, and you'll enjoy it even more. It's just over the bridge. Check out Lynn Canyon or Capilano Canyon. It's a west coast experience that wont disappoint.

    Edit: regular walking shoes and umbrella/rain jacket would suffice

    We suffer through months of overcast skies because once it breaks and you see the mountains, it was all worth it

    When you live elsewhere in Canada, and you are dealing with -30, wind, slush, ice, dry air that makes your knuckles crack and bleed, a trip to Vancouver feels like a balmy vacation, with moisture in the air that heals the body.

    Don’t know if getting soaked for a week is better

    It was absolutely beautiful today! I’ve lived the majority of my life in those other types of places, and I find Vancouver to be winter on easy mode.

    Well sure, if you move here from there, I’m sure you think it’s better.
