Driving in this morning at 6am from Burnaby to Vancouver wasn't bad, just traffic was slow with some ppl going well below the speed limit in both lanes  if you're going to only go 30-40, stick to the right lane.

I think I'm gonna drop off my car at Kal-tire @ the mall, right when they open in the morning. If it takes a while, at least there's a lot of options to kill time.

Was no way to get around them.... Once I got around a bend there were cars up on the sidewalk.
So far today 2 fire hydrants have been hit.... Can't wait to see what the rest of my day will be like!

I got quite lucky. Headed to work around 7am. A bunch of buses were stuck taking up one lane. Maybe a car driving excessively slow in the only remaining lane left, but there was always a lane to safely weave through.
Encountered some guys that were driving pretty quick (relatively) so it was not bad. Got to work maybe only 10 mins later than usual.

Waited at the bus stop this morning for 3 buses that never showed. Said fuck it and told the office I'll work from home. Now I'm looking outside with the Clarkson smug face - solid call. It's coming down hard and sticking.

When your car has no traction or stability control, and has Falken Ziex 512s
Let's just say, I have zero traction unless I'm feathering the throttle  did some reverse donuts in an empty parking lot though
Staying home
