Cc2s are great and all but they can’t overcome physics. Your super front heavy sienna isn’t going to be great in the snow/ice regardless of tire choices if you’re trying to climb an icy boundary road.

You’ll need studded ice tires for that kinda shit.

Later in the night, I'll usually go to Pho Hong since they're basically 24/7, lol. Portions have been consistency huge for the past 20 years and they give you a crap ton of meat.
Pho Hong's prices have gone up. $20 a bowl. I went to the place at Solo district instead.

I used to hit up Phở Nhuận in East Van sometimes because it's in the area butat one point in the pandemic I got a Pho Tai Bo Vien and when I went home I thought I got pranked I mean I know times were tough and people were scaling back but shiet it was embarrassing. It was one beef ball cut into pieces and 2 slices of beef and you know the slices in pho are already small. Felt like I just got a plain bowl of noodles and soup needless to say I've not stepped foot in that place ever again.

So, the Civic does shockingly well in the snow with proper tires. Main issue is the ground clearance. I feel like LSD does help on the side streets and back lanes - comparing to my Mazda 3 previously.

I've been to Pho Den (Kingsway & Gilley) a few times lately and it's not bad - the wings are delicious while the pho can be a bit hit and miss though the last time the broth was spot on. In its favour it's clean and the staff are very friendly.

They're great, all my kids snow boots have been Sorels. On sale they're not much more than the cheap ones but they're much warmer.

Yes a good brand.

If we get more snow I'd love to hear feedback on how single stage blowers do with the wet stuff. Snowblower is useless for me if it cannot move heavy snow.

Instead of a north of $500 snowblower, has anyone tried one of these? Are they any good?

Yes, those work pretty well. Especially if you have to move very very heavy snow. Like snow that's piled up on the side of the road blocking in your driveaway after the plow goes past. You don't need to lift it off the ground, it saves your back.

I have one and it's way better than a regular shovel. It moves a lot more snow at a time and doesn't require you to lift anything off the ground. I used it last night to clear the snow that the plow left in front of my driveway. When not in use though, it takes up a ton of space and is bulky to store.

It definitely has its uses. I also own a cheap wired snowjoe blower to clear the light fluffy stuff when it's there.

I would say Sorel is a high quality boot company. They make good quality winter boots. The thing is, winter boots are pretty niche though. How often do you need a winter boot?

So, on sale I feel like they're a good deal, but I wouldn't wear it enough to justify it at full price.

I have blundstones, but they provide almost no grip in the winter weather when there's snow/slush, so having a winter boot for me when I go out for a walk is a must.

I went to the Thai Son on E Broadway and Kingsway around 6PM a couple months ago with 4 people and their soup base was very diluted compared to any pho shop that I've ever been to. Is there a better location that doesn't water down their broth so I can give it a second chance?

Whenever I'm in Richmond visiting the parents I usually hit up Pho Khang in Broadmoor

I think they're pretty good, I usually get the Bun Bo Hue. Admittedly though my pho place sample size is like 4

If it was in Richmond, you better carry a debit card or cash. Shocked that so many places don't accept credit cards in Richmond places !!

I have that exact model but in grey. Works really well if you have a place to dump the snow. If you have to pile the snow up it can be a bit of heavy lifting after a while as it can hold so much snow.

Phở Sunrise in South Surrey. It’s quite good but my favourite local spot, River Mekong, shut down some time ago, unfortunately.

If you’re ever out towards White Rock fire me a PM and if I’m not working or at the rink, I’ll buy you a bowl.
