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.
Ice ? What ice. My wife’s angry eye brows destroys all
Bring it old man winter !!! You call this a snow storm ?!??
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.

What I don’t get is how can streets like Hastings and nanaimo not be salted enough that it doesn’t turn to ice?
Is that just impossible given the scenario? I find it hard to believe
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 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
