Maybe they're taking the opportunity to not be constantly blinded in the rear view mirror by high beams and overly bright headlights.

I don't think blocked rear view is a thing. MVA says if your rear view is obstructed, the vehicle must have mirrors on the outside. I've driven vehicles that don't even have a rear view because there weren't any windows in the back.

just car forum elitism where everyone has few hundred hours around the nurburgring, their tire pressure is always within 0.1psi of door jamb spec, seat belts on before hand brake down and never once did a rolling stop at intersections

Is that it? Is it over? No more snow? Well, that was short lived.. I didn't really get to enjoy it much. Only shovelled snow for 2 days and a bit and now it's getting washed away. I like it when it snows... The city seems to be a bit more quiet and time seems to slow down. it's a nice change, but the commute can be hectic. I guess that's vancouver snow season for you. I hope you guys were able to enjoy the snow while it lasted .

Winter is not over by a long shot. And with Vancouver you never know. It might snow in late Feb or March again.

I remember it snowed once in during early April, way back.

Vancouver weather is unpredictable sometimes.

C'mon man, unless I'm not catching your sarcasm, brushing off snow from your rear windshield is NOT car forum elitism.

Snow in March/April doesn't stick around for long. This could be our major storm of the season but we still have Feb so long ways to go yet.

I think last year it snow in early March and stay for a day or two. But it wasn't a big dump like we had last week. It wasn't that much and didn't cause major issue for the city.

I remember that. Cause I was telling everyone snow was done for the year. I probably even posted that in this thread.

Nope, I'm not going to jinx it this year.

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again; it’s always best to wait until April before taking off your winters.

Weather here is insane. Just 48 hours ago there was tons of snow on the ground, today all gone and it doesn't feel like it ever snowed. Gotta love Vancouver weather.
