That's what I do since I work from home. I just keep my DWS06+ on year round. When it snows, I just chill at home and wait for roads to get paved. City of Burnaby is pretty good at paving my area.

I totally don't mind the snow and the elements itself, but the fact I have to share the road with a lot of morons that have either no idea what they are doing or zipping around on completely bald tires.
It is hilariously bad here with the crap driving on the Surrey Delta side.

Since we have the trucks I won't drive the Mazda in the snow anymore (Which was fantastic with the LSD and the Xice's), but I still put the winters on every year because Saanich brines the roads around me for black ice. That shit just kills the wheel finish.

^ The MS3 was great in the snow. Only time I really got stuck was trying to climb an incline that had snow up past the fog lights and I was actually plowing the damn thing. I said nope and backed out.
WFH is great because I don't have to contend with BS.
Even back when I used the skytrain it was lame because the snow can get too bad for the train to run properly and the whole system just grinds to a halt. Now you are stuck in DT without a way out.

Ran winters year-round on the Swedish shitboxes with no issues. SAAB had Coopers, Volvo had Gislaved tires.

No snow but it looks like it's going to get extremely cold the next few days, if you haven't shut the water off and drained the lines to your outside hoses now would be the time.

How you like dem reverse apples | Sister's car runs XIce3 year round, tons of tread left.
Like, don't do this on the Blizzaks where only the first 45% of the tread is winter tread.
But given the low speeds/mileage/temperatures/less highway driving here, can totally get away with it.

Jokes aside, those self-heating hot pots are super convenient. Had a vegetarian version of lu rou fan and it was pretty tasty

Is that stuff even allowed on flights? I can imagine in a post 9/11 world where CATSA and TSA would be all over the self heating pack being on a flight and suddenly, you're on the no-fly list lol
