True Not-Quite-Far-Enough North

Whenever it snows here in Greater Vancouver, I would feel so unworthy as a Canadian. It is not because I am an immigrant, most Canadians are, but because we in this area just cannot drive with the smallest hint of snow on the road. It snows so seldom here that no one has snow tires or slide awareness. Schools close, people worry and cars resting in medians. I sat at home looking at the documents I promised to send today and decide one day late is not going to kill anyone. True North strong and free, eh? Just don’t let it snow in the southwest of True North!
