This morning I went for my weekly walk with my buddy. It was a little chilly but there seemed to be an inversion and as we climbed the Coquitlam Crunch it got warmer.
The weather was really perfect. Then we got to our usual coffee shop and the rain began. Just after I dropped my buddy home I drove up the hill to my home and the rain turned into snow. For the next couple hours there was a light, wet snowfall and I decided this was a great opportunity for a hot tub.
If you live in Vancouver, you can’t let bad weather keep you indoors. We got lucky on our walk, some of our walks won’t be as lucky in January or February. It’s dark for most of the day, darker when the weather is bad. As I write this at 3pm it looks like we are approaching dusk outside. My Christmas lights are on a timer to go on at 4pm.
One way to combat the winter blues is to be outside. Dress for it, stay cosy, and don’t let a little snow get in the way. Winter doesn’t need to be an indoor season.
