The lower mainland was a mess this morning with freezing rain and icey condition on all of the south slopes. The wind was coming in from the southwest, so they got hit with some cold..... I'm done with this shit. Had to drag my goalie gear through wet snow last night.....
Aldergrove looked like that Westwood Plateau pic this morning. Didn't give myself enough time for all the drivers without snow tires, so I was late to work. Its pretty much all gone now, aside from what hadn't melted from the past weeks.
...BUT>..its over now folks... rain over night... all that white stuff will be gone gone gone until next winter... we're done!!! get your summer tires ready for action!!!
I'm not really surprised by this. The snow that was falling was slushy and heavy. It was the kind of west coast snow that compacts into ice, and makes for a sketchy drive.
Westwood plateau got fucked this morning. Abandoned vehicles everywhere. People still haven't learned that they need snow tires
In all fairness, my 98 Forester only had Nokian all weather tires and I drove it through 3 Alberta winters without issues. This included a couple trips into Kamloops in December. Then again they wear out really fast in hot summer temps.

The Nokian wrg series has often beat out full winter tires in tests for many years. I don’t even know why they call it an all weather tire to be honest
would it kill police to not stop in the middle of the road? like just 2 more feet closer to the curb would be alright
yes, but they are required to stop like that. It's for safety. This is to block traffic in order to shield the officer from being hit while he is speaking with the driver
I've seen on hwy 1 were they stop in the slow lane, while the offending vehicle is on the shoulder.
