Even if you weren’t actually travelling anywhere during the great #snowmageddon of 2018, there was one Twitter feed making everything a bit more bearable.
In addition to providing vital updates to weary Lower Mainland travellers, @YVRAirport seemed dedicated to keeping the world abreast — 280 characters at a time — of every single snowflake falling (or not falling) on the tarmac.

Interspersed with other, more practical news, there were also Frozen memes and fire-breathing dragons to make the delays go by a little faster.
Here were some other gems:

Despite the snow picking up at YVR we have decided not to call in the Plow King for support due to questionable business practices. Our amazing team along with their 80 plus pieces of snow equipment have got this handled! #YVRSnowOps #BCStorm pic.twitter.com/UmBJpBx8O7
