Monster Jam in Vancouver

Last night I went to Monster Jam at BC Place. I was pleasantly surprised at how well it went off this year.

I was at Monster Jam several years ago in the old BC Place stadium and it was a joke. They didn't bring in any dirt back then. The monster trucks were doing their jumps on hard concrete. These truck were meant to be used on dirt tracks so the event back then was pretty lame.

This time they had 12 trucks, plus a bunch of race cars and motorcycles doing tricks. The event was loud and exciting.

It Sure Feels Like Winter in Vancouver

Vancouver has a relatively mild winter climate. But because we are right by the ocean our winter temperatures feel colder. The moisture in the air makes -3 feel like -10.
