Snow in Vancouver Robson Square, English Bay & Granville Island - Feb, 2011

Snow in Vancouver, Sunday February 28, 2011 at Robson Square, English Bay and Granville Island. It is a little ironic that Sunday also happened to be the last day of the season for ice skating fans at Robson Square. To celebrate the closing, TD Bank held a Winter Carnival that featured live DJ music, ice sculpting and street clowns. There were free coffee and chocolate drinks to go with the free skating for those who brought their own skates. Over at English Bay, the sandy beach was all covered in white, but that didn't some ardent visitors who came to build a snowman or two. At Granville Island, cars parks were filled to 90% capacity. Many were enticed by the all-year round fresh seafood and vegetables, much of it from local suppliers. Snow in other parts of Canada often turns into a headache for those who live in the city, but not in Vancouver. Much of the snow has already to began to melt in 24 hours as temperatures stayed a few degrees above freezing.
