What are some good things to do in Vancouver, BC from October to January ?

This probably isn't the ideal time to come but I may spend a semester there in few years time as part of my degree and that's the time I would be going. I'd be going to Simon Fraser if anyone has anything to say about the uni, too :)


Answer
'Worst time to come' would actually be a Jan-Mar duration; that's when the coldness of winter turn into long bleak days - the Christmas and New Years buzz worn off and spring/summer not even on the horizon yet. If the Lower Mainland is going to get snow it's usually from Jan-Mar; rarely do we get a white Christmas so you'd be avoiding the 'worst' weather.

During your time here best forecast sadly however his mostly cloudy or rain but the silver lining we still get brilliantly sunny warn autumn and winter days on occasion. You'll get to see the Pacific Rainforest climatic zone at work too, the seasons autumn [and spring] monsoons complete with heavy wind, rain, thunder, lightning... the festive blackouts also due to trees being blown over onto power lines.

It's still shorts and t-shirt weather til end of Sept, then the days start getting a slight chill in october; long pants and light jacket, doesn't start getting to freezing november but that's just overnight [can still be very warm the next day]... constant freezing temps starting in december and from then on into the new year.
(starting in march it gets good again, can do spring skiing in the mountains, and tan at a warm beach - for the hardier types all in the same hour wearing the same pair of shorts lol)

Luckily if you're the hardy westcoast outdoorsy type like so many out here, rain or slight chills doesn't in the slightest way effect the cycling, hiking, walking the seawall - just means fewer families, dog walkers and tourists so less crowded, that's a plus.

Vancouver lights-up per-Christmas and gets real pretty; if it rains badly just go underground to say Pacific Centre Mall, go to a Polar Bear Swim and participate in the insanity or just watch them as I do LOL. Clubs are still open, Stanley Park is still open, if you're into snow sports you really score [skating, skiing and boarding huge out here].

SFU is an awesome University fyi, you never hear about it on the news [so that means the campus is a very safe place to be, but still use city-smarts and exercise personal safety!]... an old girlfriend went there for Psychology, she always had good things to say.
Easily accessable by bus routes also; the bus that goes to SFU makes stops at all major transfer points so you can get to and from from most parts of Vancouver or suburbs easily.

Hope you enjoy it!

Is there anyone in the metro Vancouver area that would look after a friendly pit bull for me?




Cat


he's 2 and friendly. very quiet at times. . a friend of mine needs someone to look after him until the end of the month , thanks.
and 200 bucks :P



Answer
Most people aren't going to look after a stranger's dog, especially a pit bull, especially during the holidays and especially ONLY for $200 (it's $40/night in most dog boarding facilities). You should get your friend to look into Jet Pet Resort. The reviews are terrible but she can probably get her dog there for around $200 until the end of th emonth. If she's willing to entrust it to strangers, she can surely entrust it to a poorly reviewed dog boarding facility.
