We had quite significant of snow falls this winter, not so much in Richmond, but other part of Metro Vancouver. Here are some photos taken from Burnaby Central Park with the winter wonder land feel. Enjoy.

It’s just mesmerizing to look at all those snow laden tree branches.

Icicles formed from melting snow due to frigid cold weather.

Winter is so gorgeous. The downside was the arctic freeze which follows turned a lot of side streets and walk ways into icy and slippery walking path. Some take advantage of the nature skating rink by lacing up their skates to play ice-hockey on these side streets. Some just skates instead of walking on these side streets. We even saw someone walked on skis in the park.

Check out the following CBC Vancouver video on driving on slippery road.
