first check if flight is still on/not severely delayed
i would not rely on skytrain in the snow to catch a flight even if I bet many will take a sick day/wfh tomorrow
schedule a taxi and leave a bit earlier

1. sleep at airport like a stranded passenger (i presume before a long haul flight)
2. roll the dice and take the skytrain, might be fine, or you might lose hundreds/thousands to book next flight
3. pay a premium for taxi, when you know traffic has been pretty smooth all week and you have only arthur lang to cross

Hard to see but we’re in the 40-45°F range (4-7°C daytime highs) into next week still and 3-6°C daytime highs this week (per Environment Canada), below freezing every night.
Snow is likely to melt during the day and freeze overnight as a result, so while it doesn’t look like we’ll get anymore significant snow accumulations, there is some minor precipitation expected this week and still black ice potential next week.

alternating between rain, snow, and a mix of both and now snow. Seems on the verge of sticking.

Burquitlam was just rain with thin slush on only the side roads. WTF, I missed out...
Maybe that's a good thing.

Took me an hour and half to get from Bridgeport, Richmond to King George x 104th, Surrey. Left at 3:50, got there at 5:20 ._.
People were slipping up and sliding down 104th by Tannery Rd.
