'Christmas came early for the snow dogs': Check out people and pets enjoying Metro Vancouver snow

The dogs of Vancouver thought the weather was snow much fun!

Despite the many traffic disasters, Vancouverites were still able to enjoy the November snowfall. Dogs obviously had the most fun.

By now, we've all seen videos and heard horror stories about the chaos on Vancouver roads during last night's snowfall.

However, some people made the most of the soft powdery snow and actually enjoyed the weather. These people were presumably not the ones stuck in traffic until 2 a.m., in multi-vehicle car accidents, with tow trucks crashing into their houses (all things that happened).​

While last night was pretty tough on many Vancouverites, some people were able to take in the beauty of the snow.

​Metro Vancouver schools were open and one teacher decided to use the snow as a teaching tool. She asked students to build an M^3 with snow. Does anyone know what that means?

Other teachers in Vancouver had kids make patterns or build an old-fashioned snowperson.

But who enjoyed the snow the most? Dogs, of course! Metro Vancouver's pets headed outside to frolic, play, and snuffle around in the cold. One Vancouverite was annoyed by the snow but spotted a couple out sledding and having fun with their dog which totally turned her mood around. She said it made her day.

"Christmas came early for the snow dogs in Vancouver," writes one local on TikTok. She took her little pomsky to a dog park Downtown and he had a great time along with a bunch of others.
