Salt helps prevent, but once it starts snowing you really cant keep up with it, if it snows decently for 4+ hours. The problem is always the same, traffic builds up because people are unprepared/conditions just aren't good for driving. We have a lot of hills and when it ices its difficult even for snow tires. Then when the congestion starts the plows cant keep up with the demand due to the accidents and everyone blocking traffic.

If you're throwing down salt while its snowing hard, you're just wasting resources.

The salt trucks should be out in force tonight, it should be clear by tmr morning commute time so I'm not terribly worried. Just the idiots who crashed or left their cars behind will need to go clean up. Most of them probably would have ended up in the tow yard.

The snow isn't a big deal

But with the really low temperatures, roads that are untreated are an ice rink, especially around the Metrotown area.

Yeah that's just COV ineptitude. Our green bins are on reduced schedules again till March. You'd think the manpower would go to more prep for brining the streets but no, it's the same story the first snowfall of the year.
Guarantee that in the morning, a COV spokesperson will say, " the timing and suddenness caught us off guard and we were prioritizing the major (westside, b/c east van poors can go eat a dick) routes."

I left work at 7:05pm .... my uasual time home will be 7:30.... I parked my car at 9:01pm

And that is me constantly passing people on the right hand lane... I cant imagine what time I will get home if I just "stuck to the traffic flow"...

Going 5km/hr isn't gonna help you... foook...

Honestly people..... wtf

I wish it was only snow. Unfortunately, the real issue was the ice build up.








Also, I realized this storm was a good example of what happens when like 80% of the region north of the fraser all leave work at the same time. Clearly our roads can handle the population density

Working from home on Thursday and today on my hybrid work schedule is awesome. Avoid the chaotic ice show on the roads.

If you work from home, do you still call in sick?

Something to do with your kids if you’re stuck at home during this cold snap.


Note: It has to be colder than -10 Celsius to work.
