Vancouver Off-Topic / Current EventsThe off-topic forum for Vancouver, funnies, non-auto centered discussions, WORK SAFE. While the rules are more relaxed here, there are still rules. Please refer to sticky thread in this forum.
If anyone sees Alaskan Ice Melter in stock somewhere (hopefully Vancouver or Richmond), please let me know! I still have 2.5 10kg bags so I don't need it, but it would be nice to stock up a few extra bags. Thanks!
There was a lot of the pails at the North Vancouver Canadian Tire yesterday, just checked the website now and they still have 409 of the 8 kg and 220 of the 15 kg. Tons and tons of 20 kg bags of regular salt

speaking of alaskan ice melt, does urs absorb moisture? the ice melt in my bag and plastic bottle both got turned into a sticky chunky mess
I think it's designed to absorb moisture, because the areas that I apply it on (e.g. rough granite or cement stairs) turn really dry. But I make an effort to close the lid tightly on the plastic bottle I use to apply the product.
The bag itself can be resealed after you cut/make an opening at the top, and storage instructions say "keep sealed". In fact, I store my bags in the corner of my garage near the entrance - which is not the best because water/snow from my car drains in that direction! Fortunately the ice melt itself has stayed dry.

It's going to be warm next week. We are expecting a Chinook to come up from the south.
This should melt all the remaining snow that we have as well as those poor folks in Portland. Next week, we may be needing an Ark.

not so sure about burnaby south. i was out there yesterday and there was so much leftover snow... it's like burnaby city crews don't even have that area on their maps.

I just bought a few of the little 5 kg containers at HD cuz they were cheaper than those big buckets posted by MG -- they aren't 'extreme' rated -- but they are good to like -20 which is more than enough for Vancouver.
it's like playing hockey and getting hip checked into the boards... damn.

With the higher temps and all the rain in the forecast, I wonder how the drains will hold up. I've seen a lot of them still covered with ice.

We live west of the Rockies... it is pretty hard for us to get Chinook wind as in the traditional warm dry wind after passing through the Rockies.
We are getting a warm air mass from the Pacific. Just be glad it is not the Pineapple Express.
Looks like the trend will have colder waether again after this week.

There will be tons of flooding and the city will issue a statement about how all citizens should be vigilant in making sure they clear their own drains instead of the city doing it's job.

It's not the city's job to babysit everyone who shovels their sidewalks and driveways and make sure they don't make a 5ft snow mound on top of one of the few catch basins on the block. Those people are just fucking everyone else on the block because now the water has nowhere to go. They're no smarter than the people who decide to throw the snow in the middle of the road turning it an ice rink and then complaining that their road is an ice rink and they can't drive down their street anymore and now demand a plow to come to their street.
If there's some of you who are worried and feeling a bit generous, you can clear off the catch basin yourself.
BurnabyMap
top left tap - Layers
scroll down and select Engineering Operations
select Infrastructure
select Storm
When you find a purple square that's half white/purple, that's a storm catch basin where the water will drain to
square = catch basin
circle = manhole
Vancouver has a similar map, just google vancouver GIS map and it should have similar tabs to get where you need to go.
