pretty much nothing in central richmond. was rain all morning, went out for lunch just now and changed to wet snow for about 15 minutes. back to rain now
gonna drive out to the north shore to grab the girlfriend in about an hour, any route to take/avoid? granville -> downtown -> lions gate, or would marine -> boundary -> 2nd narrows be a better bet?
(i'm thinking I already know the answer as boundary is always a gongshow when it snows, but last week i took granville to n.shore and boundary back, and boundary was about 10 minutes quicker, and clearer)
** edit ** nevermind, going by google maps boundary looks like an absolute nightmare

just how accurate is google maps? it's showing royal oak as still okay (ie. orange and green) despite what is being said on the radio?
but it is showing a red bloodbath around willingdon and kingsway...

My theory is that, since Google bought out Waze, they're using Waze technology to report traffic.
Anyone using Google Maps or Google Maps Navigation will have their data sent back to google to report traffic conditions. Essentially. I would imagine there are heaps of people using the app.

They are based on people's smartphone, taxi's and city.. I think they are pretty good real time. Quote:

Snow is flying horizontally here in White Rock, pretty much a snowstorm.

Currently on the Island (Parksville). About an hour ago it started raining, then big snow flakes for 10 minutes, to rain with flakes, to rain again.

There were about a half dozen cars stuck on the little hill before 29th on Joyce (around 2:45). Rx7 made it up just fine in 2nd gear with a little bit of sliding.
