Vancouver BC gets the odd snowfall (we just had one last week.) It's mostly rain in the winter. But the temps can be below freezing, so it's cold cold rain. I can continue riding most days throughout winter, if there's no ice on the road. But the incessant rain and cold can gets to me mentally some days. I have just have to tough it out, especially when I think of the people towards Eastern Canada who could be buried in snow for weeks at a time.
