Hilarious! Shoulda just kept it at a snowball fight but no, one of the guys (the punk) had to get a frickin paint roller. The lady who intervened meant well but should have let the guy on the bottom tap out ... early stoppage if you asked me. Should have made him eat some yellow snow for ruining man's nice winter jacket with white paint. Instant classic!

I drove home from the airport to Poco at 11pm last night. All major arteries bumper to bumper. I took side roads and got in 80 minutes. I feel like I got off easy. Haha. Never seen it so busy at midnight. Highways looked insane.

Also, now that I am out of Richmond where there are actual hills, I got crampons for the first time (the rubber spikes that strap onto your boots), and they are game changers.

Highly recommended if people were considering them.

Feels like winter tires for my feet

My wife swears by them. She got them from Costco for like $10 and a higher end set for when she goes running.

This AM I came to work without issue. Opened my door to step out. Foot went down and I went flying. Managed to grab my door as I was falling. While trying to get up my feet were flying around like on the cartoons on black ice. This is with proper winter boots. Time for those cramp ons lol.

To the folks who recommended those CrossClimate 2's, big thank you.

Those things saved our asses last night.

We drove back from Portland and crossed the border in Cloverdale around 7PM, Google Maps proceed to take us through a literal gauntlet of snowy backroads to get back to Burnaby, I literally had no idea where we were at some parts, going down farm roads, jumping from highway to highway. We eventually came out off 92 Ave onto Pacific HWY and saw the utter chaos on the hill, people stuck everywhere just below where we came out.

We lucked out and kept the momentum, rolled down 92 and ended up passing everyone on the shoulder making it onto Hwy 1 and eventually back to Burnaby. Took about 2 hours all in from the border to Burnaby.

Should've recorded it all, was a crazy journey back.

How are people so stupid driving in this shit? I can't count how many people I watched coming to a full stop on hills, even on side streets by themselves, and then getting stuck.

Was absolutely insane to watch.

Even at 1am I couldn’t get through the Massey tunnel, not even close. Slept in my parents visitor parking Richmond side until they finally got home at 3am from their new west gridlock bullshit.

Unacceptable for a Canadian city that should expect snow. But I’m sure our tax dollars will pay for more ugly modern art and million dollar painted crosswalks

Left work at 5PM sharp.

Got home just after midnight. smh.

complete clogged artery on HWY all the way to the bridge deck. the roads were essentially a sheet of ice with no prior preparation whatsoever.

clear sailing right after midspan, with a few stranded cars still trying to make its way up the cut after the port mann... and watched a new BRZ stranded AF on that cut on stock tires... like damn people. stay put if you're not confident or equipped for the weather.

There was ample warning for everyone to prepare for this, but sounds like no one did, typical

I think a lot of people just saw that the weather was fine and drove to work, despite weather report saying it would start snowing in the late morning/afternoon. Then it started coming down hard as rush hour started so plows couldn't get through to anyone.

If it snowed overnight, I think most people would've just stayed home, but a lot of people probably just thought they could beat the traffic if it did start snowing, which obviously didn't work out.

Not to mention the amount of retards out there on their shitty stock all-seasons causing all the congestion. Even if you planned everything to a T, you can't possibly rely on the other people out there to not fuck you over.

Reminds me of a snow fall back in the late 2000's. I recall it was a Wednesday when it snowed and there was no warning. It just snowed and traffic was hell going home that day. None of the plows were out, no one had snow tires on.

If you have decent all seasons in a FWD car you should not be getting fucking stuck everywhere and slamming into people over 3” of snow ffs man..

Like I think this just highlights not how unprepared people are, but just how completely shit people are at driving. With a FWD you can basically feel your way along in most cases if you have tires with any sort of traction imo

lots of abandoned cars - either stuck or out of fuel on east bound on 1.

the wildest moment was while stuck infront of IKEA , a corolla hatch heading west bound smoked the center meridian while on the HOV (I was on HOV east bound). Saw it happen and clearly people didnt adjust their driving to the climate. At the time, both west and east bounds were unplowed.

also tailed a SN95 mustang buddy that was using HOV while he was alone.. got stuck right after gaglardi skidding everywhere... roll past him, saw his rear tires - super old winters... gave me a glare and direct eye contact as I moved by him on the right...

and icing on the cake, lady driving a newer chrysler 200 infront of me... jumped out of her car, dropped her pants, did an immediate squat and did probably the longest public relief ever...... steam and all.

holy crap that was a rodeo and a half last night.

Some of your horror stories, fuck glad I'm not commuting.

My wife comes home from work last night and is like I have plans to go out with my friend for dinner and then we're going to a class. I'm like huh, it's kind of slippery out there no? She's like, yeah well we have plans and she's picking me up. I'm like I really wouldn't recommend it, she gave me that look then I was like but do what you like.

Long story short, friend got stuck on way to get the wife I laughed and was like I love you but sometimes you're so dumb, what do you want to watch?

SNOW!!!!!!

-really thankful that I put winter tires on my car in early November.

The only wild moment of the snowfall was when wifey and I were driving home from dinner at a nearby restaurant.

This idiot driving a big dark green van decided to make a U TURN on Nanaimo street between east 5th and 6th in east Van. The van was on the opposite side of us on Nanaimo as we were heading home.

Of course, the dumbass driver loses control of his van after trying to do a fast U turn. His van does three fast spins on Nanaimo street. Talk about doing donuts in the snow.

Fortunately, that idiot did not cause an accident as all traffic on that part of Nanaimo street stopped. Everyone watched this van driver entertaining people with his dangerous drifting haha.

I’m on all seasons in a FWD vehicle and I managed fine yesterday. I did see some entitled assholes in their truck/suv drive over on the shoulder lane to pass everyone to get to the front of merge lane. Makes me consider buying a 4WD vehicle
