Even without the snow, the temperature is still too cold to put on summer tires.

Westwood plateau got fucked this morning. Abandoned vehicles everywhere. People still haven't learned that they need snow tires

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.

All the usual routes were bad. Lansdowne, David, Parkway, Panorama and Plateau. Most vehicles ditched had M+S tires.

MEH...light dusting...nothing a good set of M+S with AWD couldn't handle... but i'm telling you, this is it... we are officially done with winter!

IF it snows again in downtown vancouver - i'll buy the first person who calls me out a 6pk.

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.

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

Its also awful on dry, warm roads. It really is just a winter tire.

^ uh what about the potential sheet of ice / snow that flies off and hits the car behind you on the hwy?

Glad RCMP is doing this. I know some people were so stupid / inconsiderate / careless about it that my buddy straight up gave them tickets.

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.

drivers are already well on their brakes the second they see the cherries

i'm not convinced safety is a priority when they're pulling people on the highway's LEFT shoulder

and then you have this
