All the wand washes I know of in vancouver are outdoor, so their hoses/piping leading to their wands are all susceptible to freezing.
If you look at northern towns all the wand washes are inside of heated buildings. you drive through an overhead door to get inside and then wash your car. Unless you see something like that somewhere, they will likely all be closed as temperatures go below zero.
Similarly even automated car washes often dont have heat inside their booths so most of those will be closed as well (i'm thinking like the ones setup in gas stations. I'm sure Shine Auto Wash will be open still. | At least in Vancouver the Esso on Marine Dr and Fraser's carwash has been open the entire time.

There's an indoor wand wash at the Esso on North Rd in Coquitlam. It's my go-to in the winter but they do close sometimes.

Heard thunder this morning ... just enough snow on the roads to make driving a bit challenging for those without snow tires. And still coming down steadily.

Fuck we have tickets to Avatar 2 in Langley Imax tonight.
We're out here in Burnaby, I assume it'll be a better idea to cancel the tickets for tonight? I have a feeling the highway could be a shitshow this evening?

It'll probably be fine. Sunday night I can't imagine too many people will be out on the roads and it should have stopped snowing by then.

Yah, there was already a layer of ice underneath this morning because it started with rain last night. Looks like this snowfall/consequences will linger for a good part of the week

There's a layer of wet dense snow underneath that's gonna freeze over starting right now. If you don't shovel right now then just leave the white fluffy stuff on top so it can provide a bit of grip.
I spent 2 hours shoveling this morning, the snow is fine, the wet under layer was so back breaking.
Then I took my son out for a drive to the store. It's actually quite drifty and fun out on the family bus. Until you realize you can't stop 
Lot's of "what is gray car doing?" from my son as we went sideways around some corners.

Drove the 99 between Vancouver and Delta an hour ago, saw two cars in the ditch, 1 car flipped over, and the truck behind me fishtailing (and thankfully recovered).
Stay safe out there if you're driving!
