It went from table salt size snow to corn flakes. I thought I cleared the driveway, goes in to take a break comes out to more snow. I just washed the car a couple of days ago...

I don't understand what goes through the mind of someone who continues to drive when their car handles like that in this weather.

Why would anyone in the right mind even think about taking Oak and 7th?! That hill is equivalent to a Cypress slope. I wouldn't drive down that area even WITH snow tires.

We live right on Lougheed and Beta, this morning was hilarious, we probably had about 7 cars crashed on that hill. I'm sure I'll see more other the weekend, people are crazy.

damn at these stories of 2-3 hour commutes. Guess I got lucky, in December East-Van to Coq it may be added an extra 5-10 minutes. East-van to Downtown today on Skytrain, practically no delays.

having an extra snow day or two doesn't automatically mean Translink or CoV allocated more funding for snow removal

Was stuck behind one moron on a two lane road who seemed like he had never seen snow before, doing 20kph, braking/stopping for no apparent reason with over a block of no traffic in front of him. I passed when i had a chance and he gives me the hand like "wtf are you doing?''. Fucking idiots out there...

It's pretty crazy out there ... snow is really building and couldn't go up even some small hills in South Van, Marine Dr, Kent area.

depends where you are. Nothing is plowed in the Grandview/Boundary/Kingsway area. If you got winters should be fine though.

I was OK with all seasons MS. Just the inside streets with hills got me stuck
