No interesting stories on my end this morning was no different than any other snowfall I've experienced in my 20 years of driving with all season tires.

Woke up as per normal, scraped snow off car, slowly made my way through 1.5 blocks of side street to the main road and drove to work. Normal work commute is 15 mins, took me 20 today.

Good luck! I was at lincoln station around 7am and saw it was full of people heading to Van. Got on to the other platform (going to Douglas) Got on after waiting for 40min. It was like pretty much when I got on. Lol it was pretty going back the other way seeing everyone standing there and they can't go on coz the train was full. It was like this all the way to commerical.

@Hondaracer, shitty! But good thing it's a commercial vehicle and you can contact the company. Leaving the scene of an accident, pathetic.

@bic_baws, all campuses remain open according to their twitter. Which kinda sucks cause kwantlen closed all campuses today.

Hopefully that GlassDoctor company gets more fines. That was pathetic driving on his part. He clearly gave that turn too much gas then knowingly leaves the scene of an accident.

Was not too bad this morning, only because it didn't snow over night and crews were able to prepare roads. However another 10-15 cm according to the news by Tuesday morning. So lets see if that's the same for tomorrow.

Sorry he actually went around the corner and stopped.

But not sure if he saw me walking out as it happened and that’s why he stopped or not

Most dont even have proper tires(aging/ball tires), let alone winter tires.

Likely most BMW M series, Audi RS's, and Benz AMG probably riding with summer tires and the people that drive those cars probably think because their cars are AWD(cept M) think they are invincible.

Good thing you had surveillance camera too. I fear for my car cause dashcam won't pick anything up with all the snow covering my windows.

Drive into work this morning was easy, 20 minutes as usual, with almost no traffic!

Richmond roads aren't cleared as well as Vancouver.

There was a guy driving 25km/hr south on Knight Street in the left lane... with his hazards on

From translink website



Expo Line and Millennium Line are experiencing delays due to inclement weather.

Reduced service currently on Expo and Millennium Lines due to track safety alarms being activated by snow/ice and the need to manually staff trains in certain areas. Expect longer than normal waits between trains.

Update Expo Line: Trains are now operating between Waterfront Station and Production Way without the need to transfer.

Canada Line is unaffected.



This was updated and hour ago. LOL is not even snowing and service started around 5am so after 6 hours they still issue......

We got about 35 cm in Duncan, so an extra 25 cm will be fun.

can't recall the last snowfall but the PS A/S 3+ did quite well today on city streets
predictable without hesitation
probably a different story if we get another 6" and/or if things gets icy
