i plan on driving to cypress tomorrow on my all seasons. if they setup check points on the mountains, I will pull over and attach the chains. if not, I drive up simple.

You are risking the life of others. My advice is put on chain before you drive to anywhere.

Abbotsford got like no snow. What bullshit. It honestly looks like we didn't even get snow on the weekend. Just the stuff from last weekend.

trdees 12-22-2008 06:54 AM

The drive to work was pretty good. I only got stuck trying to get into the back entrance of the office's parking lot so I reversed and got out after 5-10 seconds.

Entire parking lot is pretty much empty. I'm the only person in my department that's here right now. I hope it doesn't stay this way or its going to be one hell of a boring work day.

Presto 12-22-2008 07:42 AM

There's very few people at work today. Maybe 1 or 2 people in each department. I feel a bit ripped-off, like people in Abby. When I went to sleep last night, it was still snowing. When I woke up this morning, it looked like the snow stopped falling as soon as I fell asleep :P.

dude i just went through the biggest BS because of the snow n gay translink!

i get off work at 630am. usually get home within 20 mins by catching 2 buses ... takes 30 if i run late.

i decided to catch skytrain to braodway today instead of 2 buses.

train took fuken 20+ mins

the bus took 45-hour+ *it usually comes every 10


the bus driver chick was such a fuken noob to.

no wonder why it took so fuken long.

dumb bitch left the heat on with the doors open for a good 5 minutes. shouldof just closed the door. alot of people were freezing their asses for a good 30+ waiting for the fucken bus

the bus made it a good 3 blocks or so before fucking up on 12th and commercial

* you know those new b-line style buses?*

she made the mistake of stopping before the hill and then trying to go up LOL dumb bitch the bus curved like a C and took up the whole bus lane, and there were other buses behind which couldent go pass because that bus took the whole lane.

there was liek 10 people who said fuck it and left. everyone else stayed on. ( about 75+ people for 2+ buses)

i ended up walking from 12th/commercial to 34th n vic a good 22 blocks up the hill in the snow.

man that was fuken intense. its 9am now.. what usually takes me 20 mins to get home took me almost 2.5 hours! im so glad i smoked a joint before the journey but i lost my roach which i was gonna hit in the bong right now.

fuken shitty!

good thing is that me n another dude made it home before the bus even made it up to the hill :lol

yson_3 12-22-2008 08:34 AM

1 hour of waiting at the bus stop going to work. excellent.

icemiko 12-22-2008 08:40 AM

my car got stuck in my alley.. took 40min to get it back into my driveway :2finger: fuck you snow :mad:

Feint* 12-22-2008 08:43 AM

Brutal everywhere last night on weekends!

No shoveling + major hills around SW Marine Drive meant cars (ie. Benzos and BMW on hi-po 19 inch wheels) are being left for tow trucks. I lost count of how many 335i's were stranded lol.

Gachinto 12-22-2008 09:14 AM
