I posted this BEFORE:

We had the wettest November in Vancouver's history,
Storms caused landslides in the mountain reservoirs, causing a week-long "Boil Water advisory" for over one million people
Snow shut down most schools for a day, and was on the ground for two weeks.
Storms ripped up or broke over 2,000 trees in Stanley Park and left thousands without power... for days in some places.
Wind ripped the top on BC Place Stadium, forcing it to deflate.
We got snow for the fourth time so far this winter this evening...
and BEFORE I knew Torontonians would be golfing at Christmas.

Eating my words about the weather, but still looking forward to GTR,

Jason
