Snow Again
Seems like Vancouver can’t get enough snow this season. The Lower Mainland is, yet again, covered in a white blanket. Not even two months ago it looked like this and we’re back there now. There have been little interludes of snow between the first big snowfall and now, as well.
The rules of snow here are:
- Vancouver never gets snow as early as November.
- Vancouver never gets snow several times during a season.
- Snow never sticks around except for a few hours, maybe a day.
There’s just a tiny, little problem with these rules. Every single one has been broken this season.
On the other hand, there’s Austria. They would like snow. Lots of it (in some parts anyways). However, they are experiencing the mildest winter ever. It is not unusual for Vienna to not get a lot of snow. It is unusual if the daytime highs approach or even exceed 10°C — and not just for a day or two. It is also unusual for the Western provinces to not have any snow at all. Innsbruck, for instance, is forcast 6°C for Friday and 9°C for Sunday. Apparently it is so bad that pollen are in the air already.
And, of course, Tourism Austria is not happy at the lack af snow at all. It’s pretty bad for the economy.
Crazy stuff!
