We asked you answered: what does winter look like in your neck of the woods?

By: Selena Kovachis

From the East Coast to the West, not all Canadian winters are created equal. Some of us truly have it easy (we're looking at you, Toronto), compared to other parts of the country, where severe cold weather alerts and winter storms are the norm. But this year it seems winter decided to cover all its bases, even hitting the southern parts of Vancouver where palm trees grow. Who knew?

Check out some of our readers' personal weather pics from across the country.
