Amazing how quiet and deserted YVR was on your departure.
My last memory of Winnipeg was a -40 day, many years ago. I recall that it was so cold that it took 20 minutes for my rental car tires to stop feeling like frozen squares.

Thanks for reading SFO777. I've enjoyed your latest reports.

It's truly surreal how this pandemic has wiped the life and people out of airports. I'm not sure if it will ever be this deserted again as I think we're more than halfway through this crisis.

Looking forward to your trip home!

Thanks 757 - Minnepapolis St Paul certainly has like weather although it's probably fair to say, far better restaurants!!

Aptly put GregWTravels - although I try not to visit during the winter and those temperatures.
