Light-to-moderate rain in downtown. Not enough to completely fix the snow problem but eventually it'll wear it down.

My car is stuck in the middle of fucking nowhere because I was too lazy to stop and pull off the chains to drive on the main streets.
Fuck.
And I have work in 2 hours. Just taxi'd back cause its fucking cold.
It's not really a traction problem... it's the fact that the snow is so high that the car is beached and wont come down. Tried shoveling it out, but it's not happening. THis is retarded. I don't have much gas left either.

Rain was pretty heavy, now it's died down. It's going to take a few days of heavy rain to clear this snowfall.

Yeah... sorry folks, rain isn't going to fix shit. It's just going to make a nice slushy mess that's almost more dangerous than snow because drive with more confidence until they hit thta one nice big mound of slush that drags down a wheel so hard that the entire car ends up looping across the road. Like my buddy did last night.
Oh, and anyone with a lowered car will STILL be fucked, because the roads are already getting stupidly flooded in spots. I hit a ton of 6" puddles last night, and a few that were even deeper. I pulled into a gas station that had a small lake in its entrance, was at least a foot deep.
Lord help us if it freezes overnight.

If you got a drain near your house, do everyone a favour and clear the area around the drain so the water can drain off. The flooding is only going to get worse if people don't help out and clear out the drains.

I hear ya. I left some huge ass snow banks around my drain so people don't park in the spot I cleared. Enough for water to drain, but not enough for a car to park in

omfg i couldnt drive my car to work today because of the amount of snow/slush thats outside my driveway in the neighborhood. Took the bus to RC to find out that they changed the stops of the 98B line because of the skytrain construction, and walked my ass over to the closest stop in the snow in sneakers which was pleasant as fuck. Once i got on the 98B line i needed to head to aberdeen, and to my convenience, they changed the route of the 98B line as well. Walked my ass for 30 minutes heading to aberdeen and almost tripping every few minutes. Anybody know if the incoming rain for tomorrow is gonna be enough to let my car drive out of my neighborhood? ( 08 civic )
i live in richmond btw

Some deep puddles on Lougheed this morning, but they were cleared by the time I came home this afternoon. Good thing too, I saw 3 cars die after going through some of those puddles. Ouch.
