Analysis:

1. Vancouver gets a lot of precipitation especially at the starting and the end of the year. It is also very cold most of the year except for June and August.

2. Vancouver is a taiga. Taigas mostly consist of evergreen conifer trees and are also known as boreal forests. It usually gets around 40 to 100cm/year of precipitation and average annual temperature of 4°C to 14°C.

3. Taigas usually have cool summers and long, cold winter seasons with much snow. This is exactly what Vancouver gets except that it doesn’t get a lot of snow because it is near a huge body of water,
