Well that was by far the easiest commute I've had in like, forever.

Alright how many people took the day off today, there were barely any cars on the road.

i made it in to work today, but when i left north burnaby at 6am it was starting to stick. sloppy burnaby plowing meant all the turn lanes are not plowed and i had to watch a minivan do the pinball thing against the curb to turn because it's all pack ice.

but i'm now here in slurrey with only one other staffer because no one else showed up. i am covering for someone on holiday and i do not have any more holiday leave to cover this year so skipping work is not an option for me . we are both worried that it's going to pick up and we'll be sleeping in the staff lounge tonight...

[EDIT] someone else just came in. he said abbotsford is baaad... the valley must be getting hit hard right now

my co worker from abbotsford said city crews didn't plow anything and only threw out some gravel on both the normal roads and hwy1? can't wait for things to eventually melt and everyone is going to get rock chipped to hell and/or broken windshields.

South Burnaby has barely anything compared to North Burnaby. Friendly reminder to raise wipers off your windshield for anyone who has work today and needs to park outside!

Never had a snow day back in Kamloops. If the bus to school was spinning out, everyone had to move to the back to help with traction.

Yesterday and today were the best commute ever in south Van ... absolutely no congestion near Knight St. ... it was like a Sunday.

I get my weather reports from Revscene as oppose to the weather network/channel! Far more accurate.

In fact, I hope those who took transit these past few days like it so much that there will be less cars on the road in the future!
