It's coming down really hard up on SFU.
I saw lots of cars stuck in the snow banks as they drove with their all-season tires. Fools.

good driving habits > winter tires
don't know why people are complaining so much. i've got my all seasons on and have been getting around fine. haven't even really been avoiding going out either. sure, i've gotten stuck a couple times. but that will happen in this weather regardless of your choice in tires

It is not about getting stuck or not. It is about stopping distance; driving in all season tires will not only add risk to your self, but it will also add danger to difficulty for others on the road.

It's cool how ppl driving with all seasons brag about how they can make it fine without winters, but what they don't say is that they're the fucktards going 10km/h when there's 2cm of snow on the ground.

Just got back to Pitt Meadows from the 'rents house in Coquitlam. It's nuts again! Yesterday the streets (most of them) were plowed, and with it being warmer, they were bare and wet through the day.
Now it's back to square one again. It's times like this I really wish I had a snowmobile!  | |

It's times like this I really wish I had a snowmobile! | funny you said that. the people living behind me pulled their snowmobile out of their garage to help move some of the cars that have been stranded in the back lane for the last few days... a tow truck did try 2 days back but almost got stuck as well and abandoned everyone.

Just let everyone know that Canadian Tire on Cambie/7th has supplies of winter tires, ranging from 13,14,15,16 in sizes available. From Hankook, Nordics, Generals...
Different sizes available.
Some are odd sizes, like 215.70.14...
Its all tossed around, some stacked...and some are all 4, some are 2 or 3 left over...
Just in case anyone needs some...
Good Luck, drive safe.
