just woke up to go to work and have a good 4-6" in fleetwood w00t going back to bed

Just drove from Burnaby to Downtown, no problems on the main roads, side streets where a bit of a mess but made it thru.

Just woke up and its snowing like a maw fucka in coquitlam

Saw a G37 stuck on Moscrop right before Boundary, such a tiny incline and he couldn't even make it up Moscrop. If you have RWD or one summer tires, do not drive today.

What a complete mess outside... fuck this I'm not going to work today.

And they said 5cm overnight? Horseshit! Way more than that out in Pitt Meadows, and it's still snowing hard :(

just heard on the news they now expect to see 20-30cms today

I don't think i can make it to work today, fack.

They revised their expected snowfall for Langley from 10cm to less than 1cm for overnight. Yeah... I just shovelled a good three inches off my car. And silly me believing the weather people might be right, I left all my snow gear in my car. :lol


That said, I got my car high centered on my street this morning. Oh darn, can't make it into work. Hell, even the buses around my place aren't making it through.

Just one thing.... Performance Snow tires < Deep Tread Snow tires. And, unfortunately, I have the former. :(

i wonder if they even plowed the richmond main roads... westminster hwy was a complete gong show... every car turning are fish tailing even if they are crawling

15-25cm, but they say it's mixed snow and rain today, and more snow tomorrow.

I went to work and no one was there! Woot... snow day! My car had no problems traversing the deep snow on the side streets.

shit took me 30 mins to walk to work... usually if i walk its 13 minutes.... lol and right now i have 0 customers... yay! got here 30 mins late and ill probablly go home in 15 mins

holy shit there was way more snow than expected the bus was like 30 - 40 mins late the skytrain wasnt working a train is stuck in holdom on the millenium line and the westcoast express is stuck as well. what a gong show and my store is dead i dont even know why were open weve been open since 7 am and there has been not a single customer ahahaha what a joke

can't believe people are still actually bringing their cars in for SERVICE

Got a good 3-4 inches here in East Vancouver. Just got done shoveling it, and it's definitely getting a bit wetter than it has been previously.

i am fking discussed at city's absolut no care for snow removable
Im not expecting the city to have huge snow removable budget but this is fking ridiculous.

Where do you work?

Kev

I made it into work. I'm not sure how people are supposed to buy cars when the employees can't even make it in lol.

I plowed the entire way there, clearing way for other lowered cars. There was a lowered Accord coupe following me whenever I would change lanes. I guess he was letting me do the dirty work. The commute from Surrey to Richmond was really slow. Snowing hard and I didn't see one plow on the way.

Kev

I'm not surprised at all. We only see snowfall a handful of times a year. Most times, it's barely a dusting. It would be wasteful on the city's part to buy a buttload of snow plows that would be sitting idle 51 weeks out of the year.

They probably just plow major roads and emergency routes so that critical services can do their job as efficiently as possible. Side roads are of minor concern.

However, that said, they should budget more, and perhaps contract out some of the plowing duties to contractors so it's not just one or two trucks trying to clear the entire Lower Mainland of snow. A lot of the side streets are becoming impassable just because of the sheer depth of the snow.

Here's Broadway station at 7:50am.

EPIC ENGRISH FAIL! :thumbsup::D

dammit i want all the names and mailing addresses of those who said it wouldn't really snow this year! you're all going to get a lump of coal from me for xmas haha :lol

wow! trains/bus=pwned

All I can say is, our company's "snowline" (that decides and then updates us when the centre is closed) is fucking useless.
