The temp froze the weather reading machine so nwo it's detecting weird shit =(

That weatheroffice forecast is bs.

I've actually found the CBC's website to be most accurate.

My car is just too low for this much snow.

Kev

"too low for this much snow" sounds like good bumper sticker or license plate frame idea :lol

But really, you are WAY too low to be driving right now in the snow
How are you gonna clean your wheel wells?

Probably with his tire tread hahaha

That's pretty low. Kudos to braving the snow in that!

Weathernetwork now says 15-20 cms by tomorrow night.

wouwou 12-23-2008 11:52 AM

^Forget about weather network, it sucks so bad I dont even bother with it anymore.

I hope the snow stops by tomorrow noon, got a dinner @ downtown tomorrow night :(

That's literally right across the road from me. I was wondering who took out that lamp post. They must have been sliding down the hill and couldn't stop. The hills on that section are pretty steep. I'm surprised I didn't hear that going down since my bedroom is literally 50ft away from that post.

Was driving around yesterday and must have saw half a dozen cars stuck on 27th Ave (in between Victoria and Nanimo). Every single one of them were trying to turn into side streets and got stuck. I must admit, a good set of snow tires do help. I haven't gotten stuck yet in my TSX with a set of Blizzaks.

Hopefully it doesn’t snow like this during the Olympics or it'll be complete chaos.

^ International drivers will drive better than most British Colombians anyways~

tonyvu 12-23-2008 04:23 PM

poweredbyph 12-23-2008 04:28 PM

I hope it snows very late in the night.. I had a hard time getting out of downtown during the 1st snow storm.. every car was just crawling on the streets.

Gachinto 12-23-2008 04:28 PM

If my tires can touch the floor ... BRING IT ON !

My clearance is low too ...

tonyvu 12-23-2008 04:31 PM

Bring it on. I'm interested to find out what my car's limit for snow is.

Hondaracer 12-23-2008 04:55 PM

fuck gonna have to leave the XR100 in the garage tom and take out the 500 lol, dirtbiking in the snow is fun but fucking hectic at the same time lol

MG1 12-23-2008 05:04 PM

Trucks, FTL....... on the way to Surrey via Hwy 1, I saw three trucks on the side of the road in the ditch. One was completely on its roof with the tonneau cover hanging on a single hinge. The other one had taken out one of those huge-ass, green signs and lay about two city blocks down the incline and smashed up against a wire fence. Another one was being towed out. All three had "4x4" proudly displayed on the side of the bed. LOL. These guys with their Chevy trucks must think they're invincible. I drive a 4x4, but it's a Honda truck. Michelin LTX M/S, FTW!

haha...the white TL? I saw the dude too. Watched him spin his wheels a bit in the back lane. That was sometime in the afternoon (around 2 or 3?) He finally dug himself out and was able to get through. I haven't gotten stuck yet. Which house are you in? I'm in the one with the 10 ft high trees around the front.

dub.g 12-23-2008 08:13 PM
