La Nina has hit with a vengeance the last few days with temperatures plummeting to minus 8C here in Vancouver. After a few flurries, today the snow has begun to lie on the ground. It's already a few inches deep. It's not the usual wet, white porridge that we typically get. This stuff is dry, and finely grained. The kind of snow that skiers dream about.
