That stuff doesn't melt until spring time, which can't really be said about the GVRD.

Hope I stick to the topic.
Thanks! | Most mountain routes require winter tires starting October 1, so if you plan to head up the Sea-to-Sky, Coquihalla, etc., you should probably have them on at the end of this month. If not, you can probably put it off until the end of October.

in southern BC, the snow sticks, melts and become icy. probably because it is not cold enough?
