Winter in Vancouver (WATCH BEFORE YOU MOVE!)

Winter in Vancouver, is something I've gotten a lot of questions about over the years. " Does it rain a lot in Vancouver? Does it snow in vancouver? Is winter cold in vancouver? " . Rather than tell you about the climate, I thought I would show you what it's like and cover some of these topics in a video. We'll talk about rain, snow, the overall experience and more. Before you move to Vancouver these are certainly things to consider & know about.

3:29-5:05 The holidays

⭐️ TOP THINGS TO KNOW BEFORE MOVING TO VANCOUVER:

📍 VANCOUVER - A day in the life (REAL FOOTAGE) + City Q&A

P.S as a personal disclaimer - I personally don't think anyone should plan to move here from abroad with the current global situation. It's not good timing, in Canada there's an ongoing lockdown and travel restrictions are in place. So overall I wouldn't advise it. Just a heads up! :)

Thanks for watching I hope you found it educational!

I was 22 in 1976, when I moved to Vancover from Edmonton. I get wets, but have zero regrets. I Love the location on the west coast, and everything it has to offer in a days drive.

I actually really love Vancouver rain. There's just something so tranquil about it, combined with the fresh air. It doesn't get much more calming than sitting under a canopy, wrapped in a Hudson Bay wool blanket, and reading a novel, all while listening to the sound of the drops.

I sit here on a warm summers night in South Africa - a country with in my opinion has the best climate in the world- worried about how I’m going to deal with the Vancouver wet winter when I immigrate.. but as I watched this video, it draws a smile to my face and somehow I feel calmer.. I’m excited to embrace the rain as you so beautifully put it. This video was nothing less than beautiful.. it was as if you wrote a love letter to Vancouver’s winter..
thank you for this.. it truly helps.

I lived in Winnipeg for 30 years. My first winter there, I consider began in September. Because overnight freezing is my indicator of winter. And I mean the start of September.

I moved to Vancouver because I knew BC winters we’re comparatively mild. I wanted to experience a winter without chapped lips and a bleeding nose. I also wanted to live in a place where I needed to go to Hawaii to give my skin a break from the dryness.

Vancouver so far only seems to have a week or two of winter. (Except one winter that had 6 weeks altogether).

The mild rainy winters can be dreary, but they are far superior to the deep cold that makes you yearn for -10C as your daily high temperature.

I love Vancouver.

Way better than Alberta weather. Summers are better in BC. BC is far more active too. Frankly, in BC, I wouldn't mind the rain. The rain is so calming.

This is my first Vancouver winter and I do not miss Ontario winters at all. I like it that here snow is optional, you can go in the mountains if you miss it. Also, remember the wind chill in Ontario. I cry

I just moved to White Rock from northern Ontario. When you no longer need a snow blower and trade it for rain wear, even the recent flooding feels like an improvement.

I have lived in Vancouver my whole life and I have recently moved to New brunswick. I can honestly say that -10 on a sunny day in New Brunswick is way warmer than zero or one or two degrees in rain in vancouver. That cold just goes right to your bones. Out here I can sit with a cup of tea on my deck and feel totally warm. As long as the wind is not blowing. But that rain and that cold, try live that out for another decade. It'll get to you. In fact when it warms up here enough to rain we call it Vancouver cold because it's just very wet and cold.

I value sleep same as I value my outdoor activities. It is perfect for me. Really such a balance.

i love the rain so much...portland seattle and vancouber my favourite city

I'll be in Vancouver again this December. One thing I've never experienced in Vancouver is wind. I don't know if I've been lucky, or it's just not windy there. A cold, rainy or slushy/snowy day without wind is easy for me to deal with. When you add wind, that's another issue. Try visiting Iceland with the same type of December weather and add some of their wind into mix. I can't wait until December to come again.

Living in mild weather is the best!
Frigid is no good.
Snow is no good and it comes with salt + sand on roads.
Too hot is no good.
Humidity is no good.
Rain cleans and keeps the grass + trees green and healthy.

I'm from Ottawa, planning to move to Vancouver this year

My body would not know how to react without experiencing seasonal changes. It keeps the circadian rhythm in tact, well for me.
