Another thing is people who shovel snow in their driveway and throw it out in the road! WTF!? That's fucking illegal too!

There was some fat dude in a wife beater shoveling snow and tossing it on the road. I must've went over a good patch, of what he threw out, and gave him a good splash, too. He gave my car the stare-down as I saw him disappear in the rear-view.

People are walking on the roads, and disregarding traffic lights when they cross, J-walking. Extremely dangerous and stupid in the snow. I get stared at too, I just wish there was some puddle or slush I can splash them with.
Also saw a lot of cars with chains on, I was like.... wow, never seen that before.
This is making me wonder, most of our snow usually comes around January, usually a week or two after school starts. If its this bad in December already, what would happen when it gets to be the coldest in January? That is truly going to be a gong show.
So far, I'm the only one in the house that's gotten through everything fine. Dad got stuck in his minivan 3 times, mom didn't even try taking the 4matic out, and my SUV off road tires seem to be doing ok.

Good thing is the area around my house (Burnaby) has trucks that come by and plow. My aunt lives by Windermere and the streets are a complete mess.
I hope the rest of you stay home so my boxing day shopping will go smoother than usual 
Good thing is that we're suppose to get 5-10cm of rain on Saturday

lol at the fool's with chains on plowed roads, lol at the fucking idiots that shovel their driveway but toss it straight onto the road. You're going to have to drive onto that pile on the road afterwards when you're leaving your driveway too.

lots of cancelled flights today, still pretty crazy at the airport. | Ya, there was a ton of cancelled flights when I was leaving but my plane made it out after a 20 minute delay which was pretty damm good considering. I've been in San Diego and Anaheim since Monday.
Now getting home might be an issue, worst case scenario I'm going to get stuck in Vegas if I can't make my connection but there are worse places to be stuck.  I'm hoping by Monday some of the snow will have left.

How easy is it to attach and remove chains from your tires?
I would LOL at those driving with chains on paved roads too, but I realize they probably needed it to get out of small streets first.

Chains can be a bitch to attach. You'd probably have to use bare hands, unless you're really agile with gloves. What you can do is attach them at home, then get to the first gas station on main road to remove the chains. Unfortunately, you may need to strap them back on when you return home.
