Winter Wonderland in Vancouver?!?!?!?!?

Pardon me? Is that Central station in downtown Vancouver? Is that snow I see? How bizarre. If any of you are from snowy parts of the country, and have driven in Vancouver with the less experienced winter drivers, you may share my frustration.
I have a rear wheel drive Volvo with bald rear tires, I had to try really hard to get'er to break loose. And for you smartasses, she loves to go sideways on dry pavement, so none of those "well it is a Volvo" comments.
