The trucks were rolling all night in Langley. Was hoping the office would get closed, but shutting down 2 days in a row would pwn us during this busy time.

About 4" of fresh powder where I live in Coquitlam. Took nearly an hour to get up the street, living on the bottom of a hilled cul-de-sac did not work out well for my Conti DWS on a FWD car. Fiancée has the 4WD with Blizzaks which managed much better than I did. Main roads are all fine on the way out to South Cambie area.

-heard a person's car on our block get stuck in the ice this morning.

There was only about 3 cm of snow in my area of East Van last night.

-fairly easy commute to work today.

South Van, another EASY commute along Marine Dr. Must be people taking transit? Absolutely no congestion at Knight St. bridge, I can really get to like these conditions.

So the worst may not be over for the people in higher elevations.
Projected to be -7 to -9C over night for the next few days.

My co-worker didn't make it in to Port Kells and he's 20 minutes away however the secretary who lives in Burnaby bossed it. I texted him and let him know the Secretary has bigger balls then he does and reminded him what a pussy he is.

Alex Fraser bridge is closed again.

In all the years that bridge has been open and all the winters it's been through, I've never heard of it closing because of ice bombs. Now it's a regular thing? Wtf

Well that just sucks. Wait out rush hour at a pub, if you can!

All the major Langley roads have been plowed. Some of the backroads are plowed, too. Also, fuck that intersection with the stop signs by the Events Center

I had to drive from East Van to my doctors office in North Delta, and then to work in Richmond this morning. Used the Alex Fraser both times, no issues. I suppose if they view it as a safety risk, they have to close it until they get it cleared.

Google Maps traffic is crazy right now. Dark red for the 99 southbound to the tunnel all the way from Bridgeport. New West is a gong show.

It's -1 out in Richmond, dropping fast. All the wet roads are becoming ice, especially in my neighborhood. Even with my snow tires I almost hit the outside of the round about when the road was black ice
