Dog Enjoys First Snowfall Of The Year

Surrey, British Columbia is a suburb city of Vancouver, British Columbia in Canada. Located just north of the Canada U.S.A border the area generally has mild winters. This year of 2019 has pretty much followed suit. At times dipping below freezing, but for short stints, the weather has been quite mild compared to many provinces and states on the east coast of North America. As January passed with no snow at all it appeared that this winter was going to be a no-snow winter for Vancouver and the Lower Mainland. One week ago approximately 40 miles east of Vancouver, Abbotsford City was hit with a snowfall causing some major traffic issues. That behind them, came on the weekend of February 9th. Warnings came from the weather network for the residents from Vancouver and the Lower Mainland as well as Vancouver Island to brace for a snowfall of 1 to 3 inches. Well, that isn’t too bad everyone thought! Come Sunday February 10th the day started off nice. Some blue sky along with a minor overcast sky. Who would think with blue skies, that snow would even happen? Well, we should never second guess the weatherman supposedly. As the clock ticked and struck 2pm, the snow began to fall…heavily. Within 1 hour there was nearly 2 inches of the white stuff on the ground and had begun causing issues with traffic. After attending a Vancouver Giants hockey game and returning home to what now was over 6 inches of snow, Brent decided it was time to take his dog Poncho for a walk. Poncho loves her walks, and when Brent gets busy with household duties, she definitely lets him know she wants her walk. Poncho did not change her pattern this Sunday. Harness and jacket on Poncho, Brent and his wife donned their parkas and snow boots for the weather and away they went. Usually walking fairly well, it appeared the snow had Poncho in a different attitude, one of excitement. Make sure you watch this short video until the end, Poncho and her antics will not disappoint and will have you loving this little Mexican rescue dog like she was your own. She is quite a character.
