Hours after Environment Canada ended its alert for snow in the Metro Vancouver area, the first snow of the season arrived.
In most areas of the city it didn't stick, but at higher elevation areas there was definitely a build-up of the white stuff.
Online, people reacted with a certain amount of surprise, especially given the heat wave hitting parts of Canada (for example, Toronto hit 25 C this weekend).

People in the area seemed to have one of two reactions.
Whoever ordered snow in early November in Vancouver is fired.

While chilly, snow is not in the Environment Canada forecast for the rest of the week in Vancouver.
