I considered moving to Vancouver for work (transfer opportunity, basically). I thought it would be awesome to escape the snow of Toronto, but on further research, Vancouver has cloud cover 90% of days outside of July-August, and that just doesn't work for me. I'd rather sunny and some snow than gloomy and rain all year.
Yea...you should go visit. Lived there for 3+ years, would go back in a heartbeat.
Winter = rain.
Spring/Summer/Fall = awesome.
Unlike Onterrible - there are actually 4 seasons.
