Are you Australian? Because I bet you'd find Vancouver still pretty cold in the winter. But as for snow and getting around... I wouldn't worry about that. It can get pretty cold there. The biggest problem if it snows in Vancouver is that it's quite hilly in parts, and can make roads too slippery to go down.

Is it out of the question to visit Vancouver in winter? I guess that's up to you. Would you be willing to visit New York in winter? I think the winter climate is about the same.
