It can happen quite often, a lot of people do not realize that we have a pretty temerate climate in Vancouver because of our location.
There are a lot of places in the US that, even though they are farther south, get much colder & much more harsh winters.
One thing about Vancouver is this--you have to tolerate rain.
Our forests are actually called rain forests for a reason.
It rains on average about 6 months of the year here.
