I visited Vimy Ridge back in November of 2008. Had the monument all to myself. It started to snow as a tour guide wandered up to ask me if I had any questions. He pointed out that it was very rare to see snow on the ridge. I thought, typical, the one day (maybe the only day) I come to visit it fricking snows. Then I realized that it also snowed on the morning of the attack. Made the experience a little more surreal.
