It was basically a white out the first half of my drive this morning. It was a struggle to see at more than 40 km/h. Then it cleared up and turned to rain for the second half.
snow tires make an unbelievable difference. However ive never owned a set in the 15+ years ive been driving and have never got stuck or had an accident. If your going to drive with all seasons you just need to know they have good tread or youll be fucked
just seems like a no-brainer to have them on incase you ever get caught by an area of deep snow or lots of ice.
even when it doesn't snow the black ice will catch people off guard.

Hai not why transit was so bad during rush hour. I left around 6am. Caught the #123 about 10mins late got to skytrain and everything is fine. Not sure how/why the bus would get delay after.

Um, at night it is supposed to get to -3C.
I was out pokemoning last night, and there was ice everywhere.
Come tomorrow, it may be worse.

Idiots will head out and think "yeah, no snow and roads are clear! I can drive as fast as I fucking want."
then hit a patch of black ice and commute is fucked for everyone.

Bought a set of michelin as3+ for my sti this summer and have been waiting for snow to try them out in.
Based on what little snow we had today, I live in coquotlam btw, they have been great. Definitely not compared to my snow tires, but for around town and less than half feet of non packed snow, they're awesome. Great stopping traction as well.
If we are not able to ask skeptical questions, to interrogate those who tell us that something is true; to be skeptical of those in authority, then we're up for grabs..

So glad I'm not working today. Bus service is a mess everywhere and I would just end up being pulled over on the road drinking a nice coffee while getting paid to watch the chaos LOL
Do winter tires make that big of a difference? In the Lower Mainland I've never ran anything but all seasons and never had a problem with front wheel drives and or any of my trucks or my AWD SUV.
I mean back in the early 90's when I was in highschool I'd drive my 5.0L mustang on all seasons and still get around, a little slipping and sliding but manageable even as a 17 and 18 year old kid.
This year I finally got winter tires for a 11 year old SUV - so I hope its worth the investment! I have young kids, so you can't put a price tag on their safety.
In the event of an accident, there's always the possibility that ICBC won't cover you if they decide that the lack of winter tires was a contributing factor...
