The hills are alive.

Now, these North American folks think that the massive mountains on the outskirts of Vancouver are just hills. If I were to compare these "hills" to, say, the tallest mountain around Adelaide, Mt. Lofty (a whopping 710.1 metres above sea level!!), then they might understand my astonishment at their understatement.

Anyway, at the moment, these hills look like little fairy cakes (or massive fairy cakes depending on where you're from) that have been lightly dusted with icing sugar. Yes... it's true. Snow has begun to fall on the outskirts of Vancouver.

If anyone would care to donate blankets, tinned goods, warm clothes...
