UBC students have epic snowball fight

You could gripe about the snow that has fallen onceagain in Vancouver ... or ... you couldhave an epic snowball fight!

UBC students organized the campus-wide event on Monday. The city got wallopedwith snow all weekend, meaning there was more than enough powder for the hundreds who showed up to play.

"You almost never get snow around here, especially in February, so it's great," saidSydney Francis, one of the students who joined in the fun.

Shawn Esquivel skipped a math tutorial for the snowball fight.

"It seems like a better use of my time," he said with a wide grin.
