I like to shovel throughout the day. It's far less strenuous than doing one big session in the evening, when you're already tired from the day.

Been driving in the snow all day. Loved it. Very little traffic on the road and 80% of the roads were completely unplowed. Made shopping very easy and created a lot of fun on the roads. My snow tires are certainly making me very happy, yet when I purposely push 'em too hard, they let go nice and easily.  |

Some asswipe stole my tarp off my car last night.  Now my car looks like it merged with the ground.
Anywho, in surrey, the snow has lightened up but still going.

I think I gotta stop being stupid and stop shoveling every 5 hours. I freakin shoveled 3 times today. And every time, it builds up more and more -.-.

Pack it in there. The pour some water over it. Make sure to get lots of water under his tires, too.

Too bad my car can't handle this weather. If I had AWD with winter tires I'd so drive over to Lonsdale Quay and take some pics of the downtown skyline

I think the city of Coquitlam just went "fuck it" and stop shoveling... the roads are full of snow! Was driving around 30km at steeper parts with lots of sliding and swing, roads such as Pinetree Way outside of Silver Spring, Parkway Blvd outside of Summit / IGA (and the rest of Parkway)... those roads are NOT recommended.

With snow tire there should be no problem. Expect a lot of sliding while driving around 30km downhill though. I drove #1 hwy yesterday night and it wasn't that bad, at least they try to shovel more often. Just don't drive on where there isn't tire marks, swings left and right much easier~

About 2 hrs ago I was rolling down Pinetree doing like 20km/h. The port mann is pretty bad too as well as thru surrey all the way to 232. After that it was a breeze. Surprised Lougheed was pretty bad and no snow plows on it from barnett to hwy 1.
There was only car in the ditch from what I saw. Just passed 200th st. There was one officer there tho.

They probably did plow it, but the snow is coming down hard. I just shoveled my street and 1hr later, it looks like I never did.
